LOOK AT THAT LITTLE BABBY! :3: Congrats Bolind! There are a lot of 2017 models in AI. My little dude just cruised past four months and he is chunking out. He has been the most drooly baby by FAR. The other two were nothing like this. He gets a wardrobe change a couple times a day.

Must be a Land Rover.

Pretty sure my son will be the first AI offspring poster. 9 years old and his favorite video games are F1, Gran Turismo, Need For Speed and Initial D. He prides himself on his supercar knowledge and likes to debate the merits of Pagani vs. Bugatti, and is currently reading the Ferrari story by Brian Laban.

Congrats Bolind on your future wrenching assistant :)

Eh, I have the suspension on his rx8 and my mazda 6 planned for the next 6 months unless I stumble backwards into a S5 NA FC for under 2k somehow. But I've probably got a month or so before worrying about that tbh.

Missed my ad for my '90 did you? Though I did forget to reduce the listed price for goons, my bad.
Traded for an AE86, unless the kid gets cold feet, which I doubt will happen. He's drooled on the FC every time he's seen it. Really likes it for some reason.
Will know for sure if/when the AE86 shows up in front of my house on Sunday.
Yes, I will start a thread.

Have you gotten him any of the Carpe Viam books yet? I'm proud to have backed all three of them on Kickstarter.

He also has Onesies and kid's shirts, BTW.

The third one (Silver Speedster) is about to got to print, and I believe he will be reprinting the other two when that one is no longer taking up all his free time. Pretty sure that's what he posted in an email last week.

Probably something completely untrue, whatever would piss me off as much as possible. Kinda hard to tell now how he will post in five years because he'll be a angsty teen, he's still a happy go lucky little boy now.

If I let him post now it would be mostly poop jokes :v:

LOL. Dude that stood me up on the RX-7 just pinged me on FB Messenger that he could come by after work this evening. I guess he didn't read the text I sent last night. Told him no again, and he said I could just keep the car, then. Well, yeah. Jerk.

Hopefully the other fellow coming by tonight won't be a poopface.

No, no. Painters tape is more blue. This? This is ~*teal*~

Edit: It has a blue interior, which does somewhat limit exterior colors, much like the burgundy interior in the RX-7.
