Hey everyone. I finally got my new armrest installed last weekend! It is great and matches the black leather seat perfectly. It attached with two bolts and is nice and sturdy. I got it from Smarty Parts. I missed having one and now it is like it was always there.



How are you all doing in the snow? I have let Maxwell rest for the most part and am driving big brother with all wheel drive. I sure miss the warmth and the convertible! Any snow stories out there?
