My first black car was a SIMCA around 1968 when I was still in college. (My uncle's Oldsmobile dealership sold them for a while.) After just a few months I swore I'd never buy another black car. Untrue to my word, I bought a brand new black Corvette in 1979. It wasn't long into that ownership that I swore a second time I'd never again buy a black car. Again untrue to my word, in 2001 I walked into the local Porsche dealership and saw a new black Boxster S on the showroom floor. I couldn't resist and bought it on the spot. Quickly growing tired of car-washing and paint swirl marks very visible in the bright sun, after just a few months of ownership I ordered a new 2002 Boxster S--in red! Hopefully I finally learned my lesson. That being said, since you now have three black vehicles, you can cry on my shoulder anytime you wish. I'll understand.

Joe,


I am not nessisarily crying but thanks for the shoulder!!!!
Very happy with the new truck... As Jay said, this truck isn't
much for hailing!!! 500lbs including passengers?

One of our Z brothers was an original owner and had it for 36k
miles, 4 years and sold it for 2k more than he paid for it!!! But
he regrets selling it...

Watching thr Jay Leno video got me excited and did lots of research
on it. As long as you don't modify these engines, they are well built
and durable! And FUN!!

Plan to do some maintenance and drive it!



David
