Way more fun to drive after 170 lbs weight savings.
Well, maybe not quite from the car...
We’re both much happier now.

I am confused...
did you loose a lot of weight? IF so, awesome accomplishment. Or did you shed some weight (cut out SO) in the first picture? If so, could be good or bad depending on the situation.

Even though this post is intended purely as uplifting, there is some literal truth to my statement. 13 years, 140,000 miles personally driven in this car(240,000 odometer now). I was 354.5lbs at my heaviest. I’m 184lbs today. When I bought her, I was a little underwhelmed with the power. She now pulls a heck of a lot better. Now, she’s got life again. I can easily say the same referencing myself. It’s been a looooong time since I was a regular in this forum. That was a result from the loss of my previous 84 Targa. Those who remember me, I no longer go by Beau. My name is Gwyneth now. I’ll have to see about changing that username too.
