Apologies to 427king! Too late to edit, damn. I responded off of his posting, and got his "handle" mixed up with 427rcode.
Speaking of which, I see the response has fully devolved from the "it is because I say it is" phase to the "you're too broke to criticize or question me" phase. Hmmm.
For what its worth, all of the responses and points made in this thread would have been the same 5 or 6 years ago when this was a $20K car.
