Mooty, I had planned to sell the SY GT3, but now I'll keep it. The wife sees the RS as an investment, so it's not a big deal <at this point> My trip to SF was "cold" but fun. I didn't see any good cars, though as I just stayed at the wharf.

And if this guy can sell a tech. bar with install for 10K, I'm starting a business right now!! Perhaps it's the chrome that cost big $$

in white, with every option box checked, I still don't think one could get the MSRP up to $170,850.
that's $50k in options on a $120k car

that number must include $10k for the roll bar
