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. |

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. |

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?

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. |

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.
