Default Check Out My New Ride

Here's a picture of my new ride in Washington. What do you think?



After I sell the house in Addison, no more zero lot line for me. Check out my new digs in Lakewood, Washington - a suberb of Tacoma.



This first photo is a view from the private drive entrance.



I only have an oversize 2 car garage, but this is where my additional 3 car garage/workshop is going to be built. I hope to have that done by the end of the year..



This is a shot from the side entrance of the house to the garage.





A few shots of the back yard from different angles.

[PHOTO=292035




And here are a few inside pictures.

The property is on 1 1/4 acres so you can see the need for the riding mower. The lawn care service for the prior owner stopped by a few days ago and offered to continue servive for the unbelivable sum of $500/month, 12 month a year. I promply said "no thanks" and bought the riding mower along with a bunch of other lawn tools.

I'm returning to Dallas next Monday, so I'll try to bring some of it with me. Actually, the rain up here is not that bad. More like drizzle with occasional sun breaks through out the day. I kind of like it although the S will stay in the garage a lot more.

It's beautiful, Fred. Has an Asian feel to it, is the impression I get. Lots of little details done well also, it seems.

How long until the mower gets forced induction?

I agree. It has a touch of Frank LLoyd Wright to it. The architect who designed and built it really focussed on detail and quality. And I have all 46 pages of the original blueprints which will come in real handy.

Very nice, seems like everything you own has a classy touch to it. By the way i'm guessing those were taken with the new 5D?

So when's the GT35R showing up for the lawnmower?

If I get a sun break tomorrow the lawn mower gets started up for the first time. I need to aerate and fertilize the lawn before returning to Texas. No turbo for this puppy. I'll stick to cars for that.
