Incoming!
Happy Sunday!

Yesterday I received one of my grails. Initially, this particular version wasn't number 1 on my list (actually 4) but I'm glad I went for it. Did my first transaction with a TS here and traded in my black SubC plus cash. Everything went super smooth and I'd absolutely do it again.

I have a SubLvC and a BLNR and think this addition makes a lot of sense. Here are some pics

Thank you! Just about a year ago, I wasn't really convinced by the Daytona. Funny how things change.
