Very nice looking car - black on black is just

I'm not up to speed on what happened Dose, but I am glad you are OK and recovering well! Sounds like a tire problem from some of the posts here?

Anyway, glad you are getting back into the saddle again

Lance, you don't have to convince me. C3's are Gorgeous. Besides Aston Martins I just think they are the sexiest of cars.

Me, too. I had an 89 Vette convertible when I lived in Phoenix. It would be 115* and I'd be top down with no AC running. After working out on the flightline all day with a whole lot of F-16 jet blast, 115* didn't feel so hot. Good luck on the buy and I hope your healing up quickly.
