I put my MX up for sale but 250 people silently told me to keep it, so I gave it a new leather cover replacing the original rubber one. Comment Image

I have to ask...did this increase your desire to keep it or is it an effort to improve it's sale-ability?

It's not my cup of tea but I can appreciate your efforts to distinguish yours from the next person's. Customization keeps life interesting in all sorts of ways.

and nothing wrong with Cadillacs Mike, no matter who the driver

Would Starsky & Hutch have been quite so memorable without Huggy Bear

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?
