    A couple years ago, we bought my wife a 2010 Horizon Blue MCS for her retirement gift to herself. Since then, I have had many an opportunity to drive it. Needless to say, they are a blast. So, two months ago, I traded my 2006 Hummer H3...

    I absolutely love these cars. They give the best driving experience I have ever had.

    welcome to m/a. I totally agree with you they are a absolute blast to drive. I traded a 2004 F 350 4x4 CC SB for my clubman.

    Thanks. I ordered a set of custom-made HID lights from JB at Performance Auto Solutions (formerly Black Flame Customs). I am getting the Halos wired next week. Going to use the Halos as Daytime Running Lights.
