TBH, just sitting inside while it's parked in the driveway is almost the best part LOL

Yea I'm not gonna make money on this. A better art-investment would've been a high end watch that sits in a box (can't afford to service them if I actually wear it lol). However, I like cars, and this is the car that makes me feel the best when I look at it.

It has the Bluetooth package, which only lets you take calls and not play music (it doesn't even have USB or aux input!), it has the car phone option, a 6 CD changer, and Volvo Garmin navigation that you operate with a little joystick on the console!

I'm not really sure I want to spend 1k putting in some aftermarket electronics, I might go burn some CDs to use the CD player, since it's just dead weight lol. I can use Google Maps on my phone's speakers just fine because the car is so quiet.

So no machine guns, tire slashers or ejection sheets?

It is sort of funny that the GPS map and telephone that were special spy gear back then are now standard.

Did you at least buy a tux for when you do drive it?

You know, the car is so heavy I wouldn't be surprised to find a machine gun or ejection seat stashed away somewhere in it :P

I have had a tux for a long time lol, but whether I'm going to ever drive it wearing the tux...hmmm...

Not the "J" word! Lol.

How many miles on it? Looks nice.

[serialk11r]

A bit under 50k, has a few bad stone chips and dents at the front end but otherwise it looks very good (minus the struts and any possible other invisible issues). I fixed a interior door pull yesterday and will probably get some leather filler to patch some of the minor leather damage. It's probably not worth doing a proper professional touchup, paint correction and ceramic coating, but I'll still try to see how much they would want, since the car is meant to look good lol.

I never thought this would be possible, but this car is strangely really slow feeling despite having much more displacement and hp than almost everything else I've ever driven. 1st gear is very tall and the cam is pretty big and the car is a very porky 3600lbs, so it's actually kind of lethargic compared to say a G37 or some other V6 powered people hauler until you wind it out a little and hit higher speeds.

Built in telephones and GPS maps are Old School

Is it possible to be banned from a thread? I would like to be able to avoid it because it’s extremely depressing.

I can’t take it anymore. Ho’s shaping and proofing looks gorgeous, and you’ll be using sourdough starter.

You guys are just on a whole other level than me.

Haha... You inspired me. Pretty sure the both of us. This'll get you. A jar of legacy starter fell into my lap. I've read that the whole fifty-year-old blah blah thing is B.S. Still, I jumped on it because of your bread posts.
