December build for Feb delivery. I had to order out of state. My local dealer had no X51 allocations so my car will be coming from Florida.

MSRP 113K. Tried hard to stay under 100K.... A mental thing with me. I bought my first house in 1987 for 100K and that was a ton of $$$ to me back then (still is).

Once I was over $100K I figure what the heck... I need full leather too.

Aerosmith,

I forgot to add in destination charge and floormats. Now I'm at 114K. What the heck. If I didn't exactly what I wanted I would be miserable.
