And I agree with everything in the write-up, except for one thing, the restaurant choice. The Whoa Nelly Deli located in the Tioga Gas Mart at the corner of 120 and 395, which can be seen by the trapeze set near the parking lot. It is a truly a diamond in the rough. The food is amazing from beef medallions to fish tacos. </p> <p>And when I get my 06 MCS in the next week and the snow starts to fall, you will see a Red/Black with a filled snowboard rack there on a regular basis.</p> <p>Great write up and can’t wait to recreate it.</p> I have spent a decent amount of time in those parts, due to regular snowboard trips to Mammoth.

Yep. She got a sweet deal too. After 3 months of marketing, I had to drop the price to $25K. Nobody appreciates the worth of the JCW kit yet, but nonetheless Sad Arthur now happily resides with the mayor of El Cerrito (I have visitation rights).

Author’s note: it’s AHWAHNEE, not AWAHNEE as I spelled it in the report. Sorry.
