Awesome! Bet you had a grand old time driving the Mater. The thing that got my attention in your pic was that brand new shiney grille emblem.

Congrats! I hope I'll be joining you by driving mine soon. I've driven it once... a long drive around the shop. I've got one of those rare seats like yours that I'll be using. Nothing like a drive for some motivation!

Congrats, Grasshopper. Nice milestone.

Cool bucket seat. I once had to drive my Eldo from a lawn chair, so I can relate.
