I was admiring those beautiful Fuchs when I noticed that the stain in the road behind the right front wheel appears to grow larger from pics 2 to 3. Not sure what that could be but it begs the question, you had a PPI done, right?

Marc: And we have a winner!!! How do you know KB?
Caferacer: Yes had a PPI and they said it was as close to factory specs as they had seen in a long time. But I haven't yet seen it in person.
Doyle, w00t & Mark: Thanks!

Beautiful - congrats and welcome to the Owners Club!
I bought a buffer from Griot's Garage and it made my last 3 black cars just beautiful. Very easy to use to remove swirls, dead paint and light scratches.

Very nice. Beutiful car. It may be the pictures, but check the front tire size...looks like the wrong front tires to me.
Go get it now so you will have some time to enjoy it before winter hits hard. Congrats

Congrats!
Good luck with your winter drive!
You'll have to see how far north you can keep the top down!
It's sort of crazy, but with the heat cranked, a hat on and gloves we cruise around top down in the Targa on sunny days down into the 40's and we've down a number of >1500 mi cruises, including down east in our 84.
It's a bit of fun in a bit of snow - you definitely have 'power steering' around the corners, but that's more at 35 mph and not at interstate speeds - my guess is the Florida car isn't coming with Blizzaks on it either!
Just plan it so you follow a high pressure air mass up the East coast at least a few days after the last storm and it should be a fun run!
