It is the founding wagon... note the tag line. Norm had well over my purchase price put into him before I sold him.

I'm also considering, "Empty wallet, Full weekends" as the tag line.

Woohoo! Club membership!

I took the car out a couple of more times and had it up to 80. The rough idle has smoothed out a bit, but it still seems sluggish off the line. Time to start fluid changes. I promised Dusty a hood emblem if she started up, plus I won't feel strange polishing the paint now that my neighbors have seen it run.

"There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes-Benz." Oh, but what a feeling...

I like that tag line much better than the "Nothing is more expensive......." line. Way overused......
