I have to write about this now, because if you were to wait for Todd to do it himself, you’d be waiting awhile…
My phone buzzes with a new message. I open and read…
I’m on the hwy. something just hit my sunroof & shattered it!
Todd is fine. Not even a scratch thanks to the vinyl graphics on his roof that held the glass in place.
Todd said during a quick call that he thinks a rock hit it, from the tear in the vinyl. It made a very loud BANG, which he initially thought was a bag of something he had in the boot, and with it being a warm day in KC today (think exploding Pilsbury dough products). But then something fell on him and he looked up.
The entire front glass is totally shattered, but the rear is fine.
Good thing he is buying a GP. Those don’t have sunroof’s ;)
Anyone else? Either with a shattered sunroof or ordered a GP?
(3) commentsThe wait for the GP. What, you haven’t been to MINIUSA today? Go ahead, I’ll wait…
Ok, so you are back. Droolin’ but bummed to find only 415 are coming to the US. Yea, I’m feelin’ it too. But, did you see this:
No pricing until April 14th?
Any guesses? I’ve heard rumors of $32-$33K. I’m going to stick with my original guess I made on the show of about $35K.
What say you?

Comments OffSomeone left this for me at my desk this morning. My guess is that it came in a magazine. It is the Motoring Hearts book.
On the site, or in the book, you will find handy ways to help your fellow motoring buddy, your community and yourself. If you did get the book, it even came with a handy dandy pop-out device to turn your cashtray into a donation box. Very slick.
For those of that might need a little bit of help, registering on the site, motoringhearts.com, will start the VolunteerMatch which will help you find the perfect volunteer work in your area!
Comments OffCame across this handy site during my internet travels this morning…Shotgunrules.com
The history of calling “Shotgun” goes back to the days of covered wagons and the Wild West. On a trip across the plains, the driver of a wagon would hold the reins of his horse team and concentrate on driving. This left him and the occupants of his wagon susceptible to sneak attacks from bandits and thieves. To avoid this atrocious circumstance it became necessary for one person to sit next to the driver with a shotgun and fend off the enemy.
History, rules plus a handy pocket reference guide. It’s something every Motorer should have!
