I was going to start a new thread but I guess I'll just take over this one... I purchased this car in July, flew to San Jose and drove it the 2100 miles home to St. Louis.
Buying this car is probably the most impulsive thing I've ever done but following the cost south to LA then driving the Route 66 route back home was one of the best experiences of my life.
This group has been invaluable in maintaining and upgrading my car so a big thanks to everyone that posts here and I'll be updating this thread with all I'm doing with this beauty.
