Oh sheesh, please don't push the senior citizenship! It is already sneaking up on me faster than I ever imagined it would.

It is a fantastic car. I'll make a thread in general auto section to give full rundown.

So that's what two of my Escape engines sound like when they're bolted together!

Yep, you should totally put another engine in the escape and it could sound the same!

Should look just like this!

Okay Chris, I like you and that is a beautiful car. But at this point its just bragging and rubbing it in our faces that we are plebes and you are a baller by posting all this stuff.

I am overly excited about the car. I go to my garage to grab a Dr. Pepper and think "whoa I have an Aston Martin.". If this business stuff doesn't work out I'll have to switch to a peasants car like a GT500 or something.

This is subject to change but here is what my research has led me to decide on.

Retail price $499 a weekday, $599 for a weekend day. I don't expect people to pay that but as strange as it is people always feel better getting a deal even if initial price is inflated. I expect people will reserve the car based on specials for $100 less than that. But I'm sure I could work something out much better for your "friend".
