Re: [DML] Hello fellow DMC enthusiasts!

Andy,

Cool I have only recently decided to get a D and i
am married and in my 23. I have a good job just not
the capital to get and maintain a D. Hopefully that
will change, since I think it will make a wonderful
second car (and maybe even a good commuter car)
