    Thanks Dave.

    Not yet. The estimated date in Monday the 3rd. But it may make it before the week end. I got the title today. I already bought winter rubber floor mats and front mud flaps for it.

    I found a thread on the sewing site about cheap mods. I found a lot of interesting ideas.

    If you are going to carry stuff get the rear seat back covers as well. I loved mine it kept the seat backs clean when carrying bigger messier items.

    I had a smokers car years back. Got rid of the smell with some kind of rocks in a mesh bag out of a Lillian Vernon mail order. (Yes I am old.) Like a lava rock or pumice stone. Very porous.

    Worked fantastic. Absorbed all that stink in no time.

    Nice ride, looks great!

    I'm still learning my way around Gen 1's...nice set of options on that car for sure.

    So few miles, too, for a 2005. I'm nearing 16k on mine...was delivered 3/28 this year!

    Happy motoring!

    Thanks everyone I can't wait for it to get here.

    The guy I got it from is semi retired from epa/homeland security. They put planes up to monitor air over major events. There was a plane over the usgp measuring for gasses and radio active stuff.

    He still has 6 other cars (sold 3 already) and has a 2000 Miata with a Corvette motor and tranny in it. He never did anything to this car because his wife drives it and wouldn't let him.

    I really like the color choices even the red lip on the rims. Black MINIs look nice with stripes on the hood.

    Speaking of stripes, some flat black gang stripes would look good. :D
