Christian Long has a nice one down here in Orlando he's planning on
selling - I believe its a 97, tornado red, his wife's car - don't even
think its chipped. He bought it last year for her from the Melbourne

mechanic replaces anything at all suspect (he even picks up and
delivers!) and has changed all fluids recently. It would be hard to find
a nicer example. I'll cc: him on this so you can talk if you're
interested...
