No, I won't be making it to TH in November. I have two TH dates for October already in the books, one being this Monday and the next two weeks later. November I'll be at Infineon to finish up the year.

Suppose I could use it for that, but probably pushing its load capabilities. Just something different than the usual 4 door sedan/wagon I'm accustomed to and something my wife can finally drive (i.e. auto trans): '13 Ford Raptor.

Yes, I believe it was. He's from NY and he's had an M5 that was fairly modded from what he told me.

Yeah that's me Lasorsa, how have you been? Man talk about a blast from the past (2006-07)!

The Great Pumpkin has moved on to a great new owner. Still trying to work out some remaining issues and I'm grateful that Justin has been patient with the whole process. It'll be in you hands soon!

Daren let the car out of the bag. And slick photoshopping of my old avatar on the plate

I was looking for about 7-8 months before I found the right one and mustered up the courage to pour this amount of $$ into a car. Prices jumped about $15-20K alone during that time.
Several factors dictate what a particular car is worth such as color combo, number of options, miles, and of course accident history. No one has an exact count, but at least 1000 of the 4038 have been totalled, and a much higher number have been in an accident of some sort requiring repairs. So, a 'virgin' car will also bring a premium.

In general, even before the usual price hikes that come in the spring and summer, a no-stories car will go now anywhere from low/mid 180's up to 220-230's for an ultra low mileage/MSO car. Numbers are even higher for low mileage Heritage editions. Keep in mind these cars brand new MSRP'd back in '05/06 in the 140's-150s. The market is at an all time high and not going down in the foreseeable future. The market is crazy. If you think you want one, get it NOW.
