Hey Harlem you know you have to complete the cycle right? You got the new baby, new apartment, new tank, now you have to go out and buy both of you new cars.

Nice tank by the way and congrats..

 

[Harlem20]

thanx jonny for the complement as for the cables i just took care of that lol i never noticed that it shows up in most of the pictures

thanx jimmy me and my wife were just discussing that but living in the city with barely any parking spots would just be a pain in the but so were just going to buy a brand new metrocard

 

[JimmyR1rider]

LOL no problem yeah drawback of living in the city- less taxes(for now) although I hear Bloomberg is going to start taxing ice cubes if they go in a glass to keep a soda cold--but less parking spots as well--is why you need to get one of these:tank: with a babyseat so you can park wherever you want:spin:
