I'd like to add a little back story to the picture from the previous email. We had taken the car to dinner in Scottsdale, right on the main drag. There were a couple of Lamborghinis and a Ferrari among the Teslas and Mercedes parked and being valeted. Where
was the crowd looking at cars? Around a little red Japanese car of course. It was fun letting my wife answer questions and tell the story of how we found it and put it together. This is the car that we found underneath a tree in the high desert of Arizona.
There was an engine in the car but it was in the front seat, the transmission was in the trunk. Lots of help from the group here and 311s.org. My quick story is that for years I had told myself that I'd lose 100lbs and buy myself a sports car. I've dropped
175lbs and my wife ended up with the sports car. It is well worth it though; just watching her have fun with the thing is a joy.

Anyway, its fun to have people acknowledge the car and appreciate the effort we've put in to it. BTW, my wife put in at least as many hours as I did, she earned the right to say the car is hers.</div>
