At least the vendor is upfront:
"We sell STUFF on eBay"
STUFF is the right description!

I'm surprise they didn't complete the abortion with a set of mag wheels!  Cheezy is my only description.

Dick -- Yipes! I think not.

Hmmm...I wonder what the "entire Boise Pagoda market" is anyway(?) since I only see another one every couple of years here.

Dick's already seen my car (both here and there). But for anyone else interested, here's a link to some photos of a red one: http://index.php?topic=4440

And for those who may not already know, I'm a believer that any enhancements should be viewed as "temporary".  Well, for my car anyway.  Because who knows, at some point I just might get the urge to strip out those new Webasto (OEM to M-B) seat heaters, seat ventilators, seat messagers.  (But I'm for sure keepin' the Webasto in-line heater for the windshield washer fluid!). That's why I'm storing some rather large boxes which are filled with a variety of new OEM bits & pieces, such as a rearview mirror, ashtray, steering wheel, the list goes on & on. Even have the original unused spare tire (which I packed around for over 20 years) stowed safely away, along with everything else.  For some curious reason I'm suddenly feeling a bizarre need to explain myself here.

Dick, pls. say hello to Ann for Carol & me.  BTW, we enjoyed that 2001 Tresor so much that we ordered a case from Ferrari-Carrano.  Sorry we couldn't make the Oregon trip...Hope you guys found some good vino there.

Good to see pics again.  What inovations have you made this year...

Unfortunetly there was no Oregon trip... Only got out once for a couple of days in Tahoe.  Weather now is extreme heat..maybe fall?

Best to you and Carol..
