I really liked the sound of the D60LFR. And i hope i can Ride SW Transit some day because that D40 looks awesome in that scheme but you cant judge a book by its cover!

The black paint scheme kicks ass! Love the vids man all of them. I have to go to Minnesota one day it's mad cold up there but man it'll be worth it.
