I'll loan you mine when that SOB MedMech returns from Germany. He borrowed mine to drive the autobahn. I had it outfitted with a console beer cooler and bobblehead in the rear glass. Oh yeah, and the horn plays "La Cucaracha".

I know where to get you one Test drove one this weekend, a Speed Yellow with 3K on the clock. Dealer asking $99K for it. The bone-jarring ride is too uncomfortable for me. No wonder the previous owner traded it back in for a C4S instead.
