I'll go as long as I can. I love my FR500s too much. They look so **** good.

Sure is a long trip down 81. And yes it is beautiful, especially this time of the year. If you have time on the way home you should make a little detour to Harpers Ferry. It is really nice there this time of the year too.

I'm due for new tires and need to get some really soon.

You can try Blowing Rock, NC. Blowing Rock is a nice little town. I love walking around the little shops there. That's right by Boone. And if you stop to eat in Boone, try this place. We always stop to eat when we are there.

Honestly, if you get a chance to stop in Blowing Rock you should try. And it's only about 10 miles from Boone.

We've got two. They're awesome. Very comfortable, spacious, drives well, get reasonable mileage.

But are notorious for three problems. One, the back panel under the rear window glass will crack. Two, the paint will flake off because its frickin terrible. And three, the transmissions start having issues after 150k miles.

Are the links working for you? I click them and I get a blank page.

My GT's paint is crap anyways so that's not a huge deal.

I need to go test drive one. Just don't have the time. Want a more reliable DD that will get me through the winter. Don't want a POS but also don't want to spend a ton. Need something in between.

I don't think you quite get the paint situation. If I ca remember I'll text you a pic of my dads flaking paint.

If all you want is something you can beat on during the winter and use during the summer, then go for it.

Is it all of them or just certain colors? I wouldn't say beat on cause I want it to last for several years, but I'm not gonna freak out taking it down our road like I do with the GT.
