Justin, we were not trying to beat anyone When we went to pick up the car, it was autumn. My wife opened the hotel window only to find another window 8" beyond it. In no uncertain terms I was told that we were not staying any longer than necessary and certainly not going back during winter. The car is worth the trip. NO rust, 98% original (except for paint and wheels). Floor pans as new. Had to replace all the chassis rubber, shocks, flex discs, etc. Registering it was an experience only because the title clerk thought she was the supreme being in all matters automotive. The State Police had a talk with her and all was well. All this because of the 5 spd.
