| Re: New car soon ! Had mine over a year now and it still puts a smile on my face, everytime. So, a lotta fun awaits. My previous car, Mazda Xedos 6, was excellent but the Furby has the WOW! factor.

| Re: New car soon ! Nice choice of car mate, I would have loved a red one but too pricy for me at the time. You will enjoy your purchase.
