This is probably one of the most tasteful and well executed Euro tuners I’ve seen. I commend the seller/constructor. I’d have fun with it for an afternoon or two.

No no no— you can absolutely get it back! I’ll make the arrangements with the Gawker Temporal Reimbursement Center. We use a directed tachyon stream to disrupt the flow of time in limited quantities. I can sign you up for five minutes’ reimbursement.
