i took posession of my car yesterday, and drove it home from houston.
so far its a great little car. it isnt nearly as rare as my SVO, but its exclusive in its own right *SVO is one of 1,500ish produced in 1985*. its quick, definitely can handle well, and got me damn close to 30 mpg on the way home!!!
i did end up buying the car in the autotrader ad! jason, the person i got it from, is fanatical about "smooth" cars. he has a M3 now, if that says anything. so the car was most definitely pampered. its wingless, too, and i like that.
thanks for all the help guys!
