+1. The seals must be dry and hard like stale biscotti. What is the point of buying such a car, not driving it and watching it lose half it's value sitting in a garage?

That's about $30/mile depreciation (less maintenance and storage)

So a trip to get coffee 3 miles away would set you back $180....

But, but, but...the car is in Rhode Island and maybe the prior owner was in a witness protection program or under House Arrest and not allow to leave the state.

Don,

Wait a minute! That's it! Phil's CAR is in the Witness Protection Program! It's so obvious now. I don't know why we didn't figure it out before?

I, on the other hand, have a cool one this week... wait till next week, I already made it and I love it...

<Ed thinks to himself> I haven't spent much time on mods lately, do avatar mods count? Hmmm these guys must think I am a nut job chaging avatars every week or two....(well that and I have WHAT in my garage)

I had my wife translate Med's last one, It is written backwards and mirror imaged reverse, she said something about dogs ... my A.D.D kicked in and I started thinking about shiny things....and beer... wait no, I meant BIG WINGS
