Well whaddya know. All their color names were fun/wacky so I didn't think something more or less plainly descriptive would have been factory!

One of those paradoxes in life where the nicer it gets, the worse off you are owning it. Could be anything. Could even be your bank account, for some. Whatever the case, $109k is a king's ransom. Good for him.
