Don -
You are very "trollish". If this 91 Tornado Red Carat w/Alloys & AT was
being sold in SoCal at $3k it would be gone in a heartbeat and I would be
the first in line to buy it. But like BenT said, too far away from the
Left Coast. You volks up there in the PNW keep loathing and wishing for a
Camry ;)
