WeDriveScions - I still watch a bit!
Howdy! - We still drive a scion.... LoL... Janine's still sporting the xB and tooling around town in that lil toy.
My dad is pimpin' out his Yaris like no tomorrow and it's darn cool and a kick to drive... If only he had the dough to supercharge the lil' bugger. It's funny now that he's getting DOT tickets for tinted tail lights... I never even got pulled over in my tC... HeHe.
I'm personally car-less and happy, as I HAVE A MINI-ME on the way!
We're expecting a boy on August 22nd, who's name will be Aiden Danger Desper
YES, Danger will be my son's middle name.
I'm thinking cars again someday, but nothing quick or easy... a sr20det 240z is probably going to be my next long-term project, as I just love the old and the new melding in RWD fun. But, more the year or two project, than anything quick and costly, as I'm not about investing too much in cars, as it's just a bad investment all together and too tempting to get lost in again or go overboard.
I'm more about just hittin' the garage and putting in time on the body and resto and throwin' Nick some paint work on it, then slowly setting up a swap and really making something worth looking at, as well as fun as all gettup on the street, without breaking bank to do it.

CONGRATS!!!
I know that you guys had been thinking about starting a family for some time. I will say that since having my own little bundle last year, it has really put life in perspective and been such a wonderful and adventurous change.
Time will go by both fast and slow for you guys over the next couple of years. Make sure to take time for yourselves...go on a babymoon, pamper/celebrate Janine (since she won't get much of that after the new arrival), and do any major housework now since sleep will soon become your best friend after the baby and projects will fall to the wayside for a bit.
I'm coming out on the other side now and all I have to say is...don't buy all the crap. Half the stuff we got we never used. Save yourself some money on that junk. If you need anything Mo & I are trying to offload what we have on other expecting parents so just let me know!
And if you don't do that babymoon now you just might end up with Janine going on a girlfriend getaway with her other mommy friends to Hawaii...
and leave you at home for a week with the demanding baby...
Are you still at the old addy or can you PM me it so that I can send a little something down for you, Janine, & the baby?

If you insist!
Aiden is around 5 months now and just doing swell...
And just to let you know that I still do a lil car stuff....
Nick is almost done and she's looking all shaved and good.
