Local forum members and I would beg to differ with you. The car has two small rust spots, a thoroughly peppered front bumper, and (gasp) one of my rocker panels is pulling away from the car and I must remove it again (3rd time) and finally install it correctly.
It certainly is in the running for highest dollar amount spent on a 97 by an individual without replacing a motor.
So quit your faux praise there, you rust-free Corvette driver
BTW, I was just thinking the other day if I would ever get to Carlsbad, CA so I could shake your hand and meet you in person. I bet a lot of forum members would enjoy meeting you!
