Nothing like a good love story to sell papers. Chris interviewed me and I told him all about the NEO/PA runs and how much we loved the Solstice. Tried to get us some free press but Cupid won out.

What a great story!

I wonder if the house has a two car garage? If not, whose Sol has to be parked outside?

Nice story and they spelled the forum (s) name right.

I've thought about making up business cards that have the forums web address so that when I see fellow Solstice owners (which is starting to happen on an almost daily basis), I can hand it out and get them in our group.

Maybe I'll talk about it at the next NEO/PA cruise.

A Halo car? Maybe thats why I got off relatively easy
