Man if I wasn't painting my Thunderbird I'd consider this, even though I have no place to put another car :hick:.

Pain and suffering is easy to take care of.  You worry about how to store them after the fact.

Go Fast the first time.  The tickets the same.

This car would eat into my "paint the Thunderbird" money. I have to wait till my car is painted and rebuild the reserve.

I really need a bigger place. Or I can just start parking cars on the lawn like a red neck :mullet:.

I know you got a good deal going on but yeah you need to get out of shiznit-cago (sorry :hick:).
Then get a snowmobile too so you'll actually be eager to spend your life in the rust-belt LOL.

No snowmobile. I'm moving somewhere warm when I retire. In 30 more years. Minimum.
