And yes, like (I'm sure) many of you I worked my tail-off for a career. Been through a lot the last couple years...Brain surgery, friends passing of cancer etc..That said, I still have a lot to be grateful for and I treated myself to this beauty -- just brings me a lot of joy every day
Dranged -- let's talk brake pads and snows this weekend

Thanks again all!
I agree the 172's look tight, but damn they are a pain to clean!
I got to get myself a good, safe wheel cleaning brush -- cleaning by hand took forever. Especially the fronts which kick-out the most brake dust.
