Believe it or not, it's actually here. My dad picked it up last night, and I "met" it today. It's really gorgeous ... a few swirls marks, a couple buffable scratches on the cladding, but it's basically immaculate. All I can offer tonight is a couple lousy cellphone pics, because I got a surprise call into work as I was washing it. I have two more I'll post when I'm done work, and hopefully tomorrow I'll detail the interior and do some REAL pictures. But here's proof it exists:

The bad news ... it stalls after about a minute of running. I will explain in detail later, but we think it's the fuel filter or other fuel problem (some of my facebook friends have suggested rust in tank).
