Nice looking car - but WTF is this:

A fencer slowly pulls off his mask to allow a rush of water to cascade down his faceWhen the instrumental segment ends, Bonnie Tyler is shown entering a fog-filled room with glowing white eyes rise up from the floor like and begin singing in unison while beckoning to Tyler. After a few lines, one of them levitates and flies towards Tyler. When he lands in front of her, the image abruptly cuts to a child in a business suit staring at the camera, followed by a shot of numerous boys dressed like running up a flight of stairs to meet--and dance around-- Bonnie Tyler. The remainder of the video is comprised of montages of the boys dressed like Tarzan (who are later joined by a few teenage boys in gear) gyrating around Tyler, intercut with shots of the glowing-eyed choir boys levitating and spinning around Tyler, and close-up shots of boys in neckties and dress shirts singing. At the conclusion of the song, an angel--a teenage boy in briefs with giant wings growing out of his back--wraps his arms around a crying Tyler.

I'd be skeptical too. No mileage listed either. Those lyrics are the kind of thing a spammer would do.

speaking of Inland Empire, if anyone ever considers watching the movie of the same name by one David Lynch, save yourself 3 hours and take a nap.

This was on SF craigslist, too and it was "flagged for removal by craigslist community". The title was up, but no link. It is also listed in Sacramento craigslist. Some kind of scam.

V2, I have. I can't remember who has them, it's someone on the list with a black S2 (or was it a turbo, the bodies are the same) who said it was a more complicated process. Now that you've pointed it out, I think it would "complete" the front end look.

That color is gorgeous useth4z!!!!
MichelleJD, thanks for the compliment. I've driven it at Laguna Seca and Infineon, but I still like to polish as well.
