I saw a ghost

I replaced it with a black (PITA) UrS6, followed by a grey Saabaru for
schleping.
The S6 is now a garage queen (but I DO drive it when the urge or occasion
arrises) the Saabaru does all else + autocross. Sort of disappointing thing
about the Saabaru these days (at $3+/gal gas) is it gets no better fuel
economy
than the S6 doing the same type of driving but it only needs 91 octane
whereas
my MRC Stage 1 S6 NEEDS 93. I do guess being in the position to have two
nice
and distinctly different cars (bought the Saabaru to help with new (to me)
home renovations, because it was trackable, and because GM's stupidity made
it stupid
cheap) makes it easier to forget the past.

FWIW, I was sad to hear when Bad Puppy burned. I was glad you were alright
and
felt your pain at the time. But if your 100CSQA is as reliable as my
friend's has been, you'll be driving it for a long, LONG time.
