The "fizzy feeling in your genetalia" is not a quote from the esteemed Jeremy Clarkson, but from Captain Slow himself: James May.

That said, darn you, darn you to heck! That car sounds pretty darned amazing, and getting it at an obvious steal is just... yeah... darn you, darn you to heck!

Bonus points for the dealer either not know, or not caring, about the extras on the car. It's always possible they didn't exactly know what it all was, knew it was customized and just let it go at a song to let someone else deal with the potential repair issues.

Either way, go on a nice long drive, say 'hi' to R- for me, and enjoy the car dude! (find a track, I'm curious what it clocks ;-) )

You saved me from the correction. :-) But what's bugging me now is that I can't recall which car it was that gave May that fizzy feeling.

Rob, congrats on the car.

Next up, ask AJ what sort of customizations he would do to 1998 M-B C230. (not that it needs anything as it is just fine and dandy as it is for driving on the twisties.)

WRT "let him deal with the repair issues" --

They sold it to me with a warranty that covers damn near everything (except consumable goods like brake rotors and whatnot) until 100,000 miles. :)
