Exactly why I have my Honda CB900F. When I need some speed I just haul that into the twistys. If I'm in a particularly bad boy mood I'll do it with my wife on the back just to see her freak when we stop. She'll complain I was nearly grinding her foot into the ground...

Cures the need for speed that keeps most people away from the steady pace of a 200D or 240D automatic. Kinda similar to when I lived in Hawaii, Whenever I had enough heat, I'd go clean the walkin freezer. That always cured any desire I had to see winter. >Recently I've been driving the SL again, and tonight my wife and >I ended up caravanning home. (She in the 300Dt.)

Try - the Home Depot building is an option. I presently have a 10x18 barn. But the cost of the metal building at $6300 for 20x36 is a better deal for me than $17k for the smaller 16x32 from HD. It uses 3"x2" rectangular tubing for reinforcement. Prettey substantial. Thankfully, tornadoes are not common here. I know, I am somewhat concerned about a "metal building" - seems like a wooden building is more permanent. Except for rust the metal should be long lasting. The metal has a coating which is supposed to protect it from chips, cracks, etc. I looked into metal buildings that are built with a metal frame - I-beams, channels, and then traditional roofing and vinyl siding. It looked exactly like a stick building. The 20x32 that matched my 2 story colonial was $5500 delivered but not installed. I;d have to prep the location and erect the building.
