I remember when Ken bought that coupe and it was rough especially after the hg. Congrats on the milestone. You ever heard from him recently? I haven’t seen pics of December in years.

We texted the other day about the 10 years anniversary. He sent me a copy of that key handoff photo after I told him I may have lost track of it.

Thanks!
I just realized we also have not run into each other for years after meeting up a few times in the NYC area Legend meets. As you may have seen in my member info and other posts, we moved away from the NYC area back in March 2020. Time for a NALM?

Toss up but it would be the coupe’s turn. It certainly is more fun to drive.

Ken and his better half were in Houston earlier this winter, staying a few days before heading to Austin so we got together. I’ve got photos of the two of us standing with the coupe but can’t post them due to issues with this forum. It was great to get together after such a long while!
