Approaching from the rear never fails to make me smile.

Good for you! Why buy a C4 if you’re not gonna drive it year-round, especially if you live in a place that has all four seasons?

Did you lose the reverse gear auto-tilt on the side mirror after swapping out the seats?

Nice! I was unexpectedly caught out in the rain once. Glad to report that the car didn't melt as I suspected it to.

Ron, that's a great question...

I don't know. Never thought about it over the last 15 years. I'll check later today and let you know.

I only recently learned about the reverse tilt feature, which I really like in other cars. Turns out you need seats with memory function, which I don't have. I'll be interested to know if the feature survives a seat-ectomy.

Spent some time admiring it today. The fact that although I could be working on it, I don't have to is a really, really nice place to be and enjoy a couple of cold beers.

That’s around $1 less than here in So Cal. I need to move from this insane place.
