Well since they are not exactly the same (lighting) we will have to call them fraternal twins. Laughing

Great job everything looks nice.

whichever one I'm driving as norm that day ... because of having to switch my gear, map book, etc back and forth, I'll drive one car for a few days/weeks, with everything in it, then switch to the other one for a while. So if a call comes in, it's whichever one I've chosen already. However, I tend to drive Rogue more as a daily driver, with Ivy as kind of a "special occasions" car, but not exclusively. And Rogue's waiting for new brakes right now, so Ivy's the default ...

well . . . it's kindof a long story . . .


short version . . . I owned the green car. I found out I was receiving an inheritance and decided to sell it and use that plus some of the inheritance to buy a newer car (same type, probably). A few months before I got the ineritance, the transmission blew. So I couldn't sell it, at least to get anything out of it. So I needed another car. I found the red one, bought it. Was going to pay it off with the inheritance money I had been planning to use for a newer car, but then decidd to use that cash to fix the green one, pay off the loan with payments, and have two cars . . . I love the Merc's/Vics, they're the only cars I like well enough to buy instead of a truck (that's the next goal, an old solid beater 4x4 . . . Cool ) so . . . here we are Very Happy
