I've got two bucks on it being the Big M, as well. The ownership story fits, and that sounds about right in terms of stuff that used to go on there.

You, Sir, are a fucking genius.

I'm no Porsche fan, but how is a car that's twice the price still a 911-fighter?

Got it. Yeah, we only get much higher equipment levels, and they don't depreciate as quickly, particularly the wagons.

Not for ten grand, sorry.
