I love this list, curmudgeons and all. What a great bunch of people
(and no Im not being sarcastic)
I've decided to go ahead and have Alan Peterson install a 2.2 soob in
it and a German Transaxle VC. Then a new radiator for insurance
purposes, maybe my Audi 15 inch wheels, and call it good and put it on
ebay. Ill let someone else install the syncro.org springs and old
man's, although Im going to have Al hike it back up with the factory
springs.
Oh by the way, since we were talking real estate (another overpriced
commodity here in Seattle) I'd thought 'Id mention that I cant afford
my 600k view house either, but that's why I have renters.  In SFO it
be worth what Ben Tan's garage is worth, about $800 k, not counting
the exotic porche's and the DOKA 16... :)
