Yea funny you say that, my buddy next door has a Black 99. He paid a pretty penny for it, 3800 miles on the clock, he is almost afraid to drive it, which I get on him all the time about!! Just tell him he is taking care of it for someone else. Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it and the welcome
