I'll give that a try next time.

Some more photos:

On the drive up, we had a fantastic sunset paint the sky orange.

I think he did.

I knew he couldn't handle that RV

Probably burned his brakes coming down the great divide. Ended up in a runaway truck ramp...

Love those pictures.

Bought a car, Saab 93 Vector 2.0t. Didn't set out to get one with the sports package but it was close enough so I could walk to it and I like how it looks.

Here's a few shots from Cuba. We didn't get to see as much as we would have liked due to the cruise line cutting our stay short. They canceled all shore excursions and refunded everyone's money so the ship could leave 6 hours early. We suspect it was because of the tropical storm force weather, as we couldn't get a straight answer out of the crew.

Interesting fact: The only cars Cuban citizens can legally own are cars purchase or manufactured before 1959.

The majority of the building were in some form of disrepair. Many of the structures were being held up by poorly constructed support systems.

However, there still was so much beautiful landscape and architecture to enjoy.

Thx

cuba looks great. i'd like to go sometime

I would have certainly liked to see more.

Nice pics Gwamps

First born rode his bike today! Been waiting for this for years.

congrats, did it take long?
My first took all of 15 mins to get the hang of it. My second won't even try, even though she's the daredevil of the two

He's not long turned 5 but I didn't push him into it. My 3 year old kind of picked up the bike and did it on his second try...

I love my 9-3, I've got the 2.2 and it sounds like a fucking tractor cause it's chain driven. 170 on the clock and bits are starting to drop off it but the engine's going fine.

I put some LED dipped beams in last week which made a nice difference to night driving, they strobe flicker for a minute or two when you turn the engine off but it just makes it look like an advanced security feature The kids on the street love it.

lol, I saw a 9-3 last night with huge, cheap mudflaps and a gaping hole for an exhaust. Sounded just as awful.

And then there's kids like this:

That kid is cute. Parents must be loaded though, I imagine my kids would be riding mini bikes like that if I was willing to shell out that kind of cash for them to ride it for a few years.

Yes, I'm sure your financial situation is the only thing that separates your children from that little boy. And knowing he has no other competition, in his age range, in his entire country adds tons of plausibility to your statement...

Those bikes cost about as much as an xbox.

Seems insane! I guess, at the end of the day someone has to do it so well done to the little biker...

I'd like to visit Cuba as well, looks nice.

That's what it's about after all, impressing the kids.

I'm really happy with it so far too. The guy owned it for 10 years and took super care of it. Said his gf made him sell it.
I wouldn't mind the 2.2 if I lived in the states, our taxes and gas prices are a little higher though.
Mine doesn't sound like a tractor, it's not a diesel though. It's nice with a chain you don't have to think about changing it.

Dude... those bikes are 2 - 3k and can only be used by them for a few years. I'm not poor but I'm also not willing to spend that kind of cash on an item that can only be used during 4 months of the year and only for a couple of years. Kudos to you if you are though, I'm not hating but it's definitely not in my range. I know how much they are because I own a motorbike and saw them for sale at my local moto shop.
