Thanks for the kind words guys (is that you Steve, #047? - wheels were painted by a wheel shop - color + clear coat). I have this funny feeling I'm going to regret it when it's gone but then it wouldn't be the first time I've had seller's remorse. Actually, along the lines of yanking the bandaide off rather than slowly pulling it off, I've got my other you-don't-see-one-of-those-everyday car for sale for lack of use - if only I had enough garage space for cars that don't have to work for a living. This seems like just the crowd that might have an interest or know someone who does:
