Well, that clause in the owner's manual requiring you to detail the car four times a week or invalidate the warrantee scare a lot of folks away :)

The dark ages of fun cars is upon us. People thought the decline from 1970 to 1975 was bad (and for anyone interested in cars, 1975 was pretty nasty)...just wait to see the result this time around with the government dictating the outcome. :cry:

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.
