Congratulations Pete! Hopefully it's a short winter so you can start enjoying it sooner!

Thanks! It's nice to be back behind the wheel (of a real car) again. See you at the track next year?? It's been a long time since the old F-body days!

Hey! I've waited ~5+ years for this car, and even I'm prepared to wait a few more months (of winter!) 'til I can actually enjoy it, so the rest of you can wait patiently too!! (...or take up sledding!!! )

I really can't complain. I dealt with Brian. He was friendly and professional. I don't have high expectations of salesmen (no offense), as I generally know more about what I'm looking at/for than they do. But these guys really weren't difficult to deal with by any means. And it cost them a new set of rear tires to safety, so I'm good with that!

Yeah, apparently not! LoL ........ I guess I never heard a compelling enough reason NOT to actually buy the car!! Like I said before, it sorta spoke to me ..... I'll deal with any short-comings or "issues" as they arise. It's a used car that's been driven/enjoyed, so I can't expect it to be perfect, but from what I can see, it's in great condition for a car with ~68k.

..... and who am I to judge a car for being used and/or slightly abused?! I've tracked all of my cars, and they've all suffered some sort of my "wrath"!!!
