    Wy wife thinks I'm crazy but you only live once right? It has a couple of very minor paint chips but aside from that, I'm happy with my purchase. I can't keep my 4yr old away from it! :D

    Congrats on your new acquisition!
    These are the three I have in my stable. I must say tho, I enjoy taking the red one out for a spin the most. ;)

    Nitrox,

    Would you mind if I asked you how much you paid for the car? Just trying to gage the current selling prices of these cars given the present market conditions. If the couple of things that I am working on goes well, I may be in the market for one of these in about six months. I am just crossing my fingers!
