Incoming, and the last one for the foreseeable future

I’ve been waiting for this one for quite awhile, and I think that it’ll round out a well-balanced trio along with the 16610 and 214270.

Congrats. Definitely a nice trio to have. Till the fourth somehow pops up! But seriously I’d be happy with those three as well.

Thanks guys!!!

Full disclosure: The GMT actually belongs to this guy, but I get to wear it ‘til he gets his MBA, CRNA, or MD (We haven’t decided which one it’ll be, but he’s leaning towards CRNA, like his mom).

A little background to the story is that he was looking over my shoulder a couple of years ago while I was checking out GMT’s on the forum. As luck would have it, his favorite colors are blue & red, so the next words out of his mouth were “I want that”. Every time he saw a photo of a Pepsi, those three words came out of his mouth shortly thereafter. As luck would have it again, I ended up growing tired of my 116520 (2014 model), so I decided to see if I could flip it for something that I would enjoy more. I ended up being able to get a new 214270 and this Pepsi for the Daytona and a little cash out of pocket. I’m sure that there are plenty who would shudder at the thought of that trade, but I couldn’t be happier with the end result, and I know the happiness will grow exponentially when I’m eventually able to pass it on to my son!!! Thanks again for the kind words!!!
