Am I the only one who doesn’t dig pinstriping?

Great read, thank you for telling the story. It would’ve been much easier to relegate that postcard to bookmark or (egad!) beer-coaster duty...mayhap the English language and letter writing are still relevant

You magnificent masochist! Should be a hell of a ride/story. Better you than me, man

Somebody had to do it

Then come back...repeat donutry

Who knows what kind of commute or how many cross-country jaunts he made, though. Just saying. Some folks put beaucoup miles down in a year.

Eh, throw in the parts car and 4k sounds ok for a car that is likely to appreciate. It is funky looking though.

Soooo get the AMG?

A great story, a great heartfelt informative write-up...cheers, mate

Ok...in all ( by which I mean zero) seriousness:

This is not a starter car!! This is a finnisher car! Dennis’ reaction when he realizes he’s flown off the handle is priceless

I used to do this all the time when I worked at Wallyworld if we were backed up. Rubber cement and a lighter is all I would add

Hey Raph, can you un-grey me?

Love these cars. Even without awd. Still miss my Talon :(

Miata...maybe Cherokee if you’re of a mind

Camry of stancenation...mkiv Jetta

Best of luck, Doug...do what you do.
