i find this fascinating as a newbie to these cars. plus the fact that i LOVE all of the "original-design" parts and have been trying to get them on my car since i got it last year.

as someone who generally likes to know the history of any given subject, i'd love to hear more of this info. where did you learn all this stuff jim? and i'm wondering if there is a master list of the deleted items or some of the more common "original-design" options that were included (heated seats?, rear headrests?, etc.)? is there a decent site out there with this info and history lesson? very cool.
