i did it. in the last week i went car shopping. got it out of my system... those shiny new lasses out there aren't all that. i saw first hand how everything out there under 35k blows... (self admitted vx snob. ha.)

however, looking around still didn't fix the vx mod 'blahs'. honestly, since posting the original thread, i think i was just burned out. time will fix that...

in the meantime, i've decided to dust off the old cannondale mtnbike - strip her of all parts, and rebuild, Rebuild, REBUILD - to bring her back to life. i used to be huge into mtnbikes in the mid/late 90's. fixing up the Cdale will be a nice project - after all I could use something to help step up my health game...
