Pinstripes or no, from the outside at least just a beautiful looking car. Why do these always seem to be over on the left coast. In any case, my wife would probably excommunicate me for even contemplating entertaining the idea at this point in time! GLWS.

Passion Red, in keeping with my car color 'theme'. My '97 855 and '91 Miata are red and I would have deviated only if I got my hands on a Sonic Blue :)

I do like it. A lot. (BTW; A BIG thanks to JRL for helping with my questions when I was shopping around). Going from a 15 YO car with a quarter million miles to a 6 YO car with 30K on it is quite a thing to get used to. I feel like a kid with his first car!

The PO added a K&N air filter and the IPD CAI so it really kicks and you can hear the turbo doing it's thing. I noticed that you have paddle shifters which I don't have, but I do have the Triptronic trans which isn't too bad. Wish I could get the factory sub, but I'll just have to make my own cabinet (Yeah - summer project!!). Additionaly, I need to tint the windows, black-out the grill, headlight frames & badges and upgrade the radio.

I'm having an issue dealing with having a trunk but that's just an issue in my head!

It has been mentioned several times (on this and Craigs) that the distance is a big issue. Well, having bought and sold my previous cars and motorcycles from longer distances....I offer to pay up to 50% of the coach airline ticket or the shipping costs, NOT TO EXCEED $500.00.

OK? Hope so. Sim

The one option on the V70R ('06) that this car lacks is the Nav system. Sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.
