[Accumulator]

Hey, Moe- Having given this some more thought and giving consideration to my experiences over this last winter with the Denali, maybe you'd do OK with the sapphire black after all.

Heh heh, I get the feeling that a some people are kinda missing the overall point here; you're after a kind of heirloom/keeper rather than something you're gonna be thrashing at 9/10ths, right? I compare your situation to how I feel about my S8 and the Jag...not exactly the hottest tickets in town but cars I simply *love having* year after year.

Handling/performance/etc.-wise, my Jag is simply a *mess* compared to a lot of the "better" cars that I've had, but those have come and gone while the JXS continues to brighten my life. A similar, perhaps *better* example might be my wife's A8, which she simply wouldn't trade for a new [anything].

Oh, BTW, I thought of you the other day on the 30-somethingth anniversary of my first Trans-Am. I sure do remember the anticipation of getting that thing!
