That pic is almost as ugly as the car we're discussing, but that pic is photoshopped, the car is real and that makes it worse.

Now, why would you let such a beauty go... I would have done everything in my power to keep her. She appears to be in great shape and ready to go for a ride... I bet she was all lubed up and filled with go juice. She looks good topless... Did she have a long or short stick?
She does look like she's been rode hard and put up wet... but, still in good condition.
I bet you really miss her... wish you had her back?

I thought it might have been one of the original test mules that made it to the street.

I left the door ajar and it killed my Napa battery. I took it to Napa and they gave me a brand new battery without asking ANY QUESTIONS.
