Awesome! Congrats dude. I see a owning vehicle/cycle intervention in your future. You do know admiring the problem is the first step.:CWL:
Okay, so here's the story. It's this thread's fault that I bought the stang. :CWL:

Here's what happened, starting with these posts...

Follow that conversation over the next couplefew pages.

So I'm sitting at my 'puter that morning, reading this discussion about manual transmissions and I think "hrmmm, I miss driving a manual, too." So I fire up CL and start looking for used manual tranny cars. I'm looking at used Corvettes, Mustangs, Miatas, everything. I finally think a used Mustang GT PP1 car would be fun and relatively cheap so I go over to a nearby toyota dealership that had a used one with 12k miles on it. Test drove it, nice car that they wanted $39k for. The only option it had was the PP1 package, but the prior owner had upgraded the cloth seats to Katskin leather (nice.) But nothing else, no premium sound or the like.

I was gonna try and dicker them down to $36-37k and then I trip over this...

I'd seen it a few days earlier on CL and Autotrader.com for $50k but it's now at $45k which is a steal for that car with less than 3k miles on it. Another rich dude in RSF had purchased it and put it in his garage and then went through a divorce and had to dump it. The RSF podunk dealer was selling it on consignment. So that evening I'm like "fuck yeah, I'm going to be there when they open at 10 tomorrow." (a Saturday.) I roll up in their parking lot at 9:56 AM and one of the lot attendants pulls it out for me. The car is pristine, showroom condition (which makes the rock hit today even more painful.) Ten minutes later another guy shows up and is interested in the car. By that time I'd told the attendant that I was buying it. The dude was super bummed and left.

So yeah, it's all you Seawards' fault! :CWL:

But to your point, yeah, I'm fuckin' vehicle crazy.

Here's a conversation the Ambassador and I had via text yesterday.

Sounds like my doctor may want to start me on the monoclonal antibody therapy.
