Very nice thanks, what a sound! That smooth deep graphite grey looks awesome, and the red leather seats are just right. Gearshift seems a little notchy but I bet you would love that too after 5 minutes.

I like that he drives the car instead of trailering it.  He said he gets a stone chip now and then but he drives it.

To have a really nice car stay that way, you have to spend some time every year painting areas that get messed up from driving.
