Default Look at what my lovely wife bought me

Yes what a surprise gift for Valentines day. I think the second picture may show the gift a little clearer.

Yes I admired that badge awhile ago when someone here posted it. I showed it to her once and said I liked it thinking may get it for a b-day or something. A nice surprice today for sure.

The blinds I bought c/o home depot 2 weeks ago after we talked about it Ben. I couldn't stand having the sun beat on my car all afternoon. My house faces south and receives direct sun all afternoon. Also good to keep the lookie lous out.

Eilig:

GT Silver Metallic. I took that outside from the dark looking in so I think even after light adjusted it still looks dark. Funny color to photograph anyway sometimes almost looks Arctic and sometimes closer to Seal.

Thanks. Every time I see that color, I just fall in love with it. I actually like the way it looks like different colors, depending on the light conditions. Sort of the best of all worlds. Just gorgeous.

Robert - Doesn't the enamel crest look good? I got one of those for Father's Day last year from my daughter. Of course,.... I had to order it.... and pay for it.... but at least I didn't have to wrap it for myself!

Very nice! Where can you obtain these? I do have a black Porsche flag.

Thanks,
