You could say I already have put my money where my keyboard is today, and I'd do it again for my next car if whatever that turns out to be comes in at a reasonable price point (with A/C this time).

Norm, you're taking me back to the days of my special-ordered '78 Nova with 9C1-Police Package chassis and LM1-350. Hot tamale', in its day...and a match for most anything else on the streets, fresh from the showroom floor...
