It's been a while since I got to ban a real person.

I fear he's probably gone :brice: on us and has picked up an Accord. No mercy for a crime against humanity.

If you trailered it into MI a few days ago, it probably does now. :poke:

That thing looks very clean! How's the inside?

Inside is relatively clean and complete. It's a down south car, so paint is starting to peel on the roof, and some minor issues with the dash, but nothing I didn't save parts from my first car that I can't fix. Of course, same issue I had with my old one, the door weatherstripping is decayed pretty badly. I will be getting more pictures of this soon enough, for now it's hibernate mode around here lol.

Again, those are minor just nuisance things.

As much as I love this, I think you need to start a write up on that Trofeo. Maybe I have just missed it.

The last few weeks, it's been kinda trippy to see this thing in my driveway. I've already accidentally walked right up to it on my way in to work.

There's a bit on here about the trofeo already. Lots more to come on that in '24 too. As well, it's about time i did something about this winter beater I've been sitting on.
