    Me too. The car has received some updates since it was picked up.

    You did it right, sir. Thanks for saving a poor old tired coupe, the right way.
    I don't think he saved it lol. He didn't spend any money.

    This.

    My car is supposed to be "Pace Car White" but some douche bag that owned the car before me repainted it and took the cheap route. Hence, I am the proud owner of a Wimbleton White 1964 1/2 Indy 500 Pace Car replica. The average joe would never know the car is the wrong color, but it irks me that someone would do that.

    Oh well. One of these days (er, years) the car will be torn down and redone and it'll get the correct color...

    I propose that we permanently eliminate the phrase "56k warning" and instead adopt "don't open this bitch on on 4G"
    To be fair some of the speed most folks still have at home are pretty damn close to 56k sometimes lol. not to mention those that live in the sticks and are stuck with satellite connections.
