That why my forum name has absolutely nothing to do with the car I own. Cars change, my forum name doesn't.

Funny -- I had meant it as a rhetorical question -- just bragging on my new (to me) Z!

But seeing my post this morning I can see why everyone is reading it the way you did.

I've got plenty of time to think of new handles -- and I will. It is a very small hassle and I only turn my cars about every 4 years or so...

Oh, and the car itself. There really is a difference. This thing is stock except for an intake, but boy is it quick...

Argent is Latin for silver.

Rufus is Latin for red.

Ergo (LOL), RufusC5Z.
