Things like these and other upgrades will get to me in terms of wanting to upgrade. But as of right now I intend to keep it till something major blows up and I can't afford to fix it. My '95 truck is still around even after the tranny needed rebuilding... I like keeping my cars for as long as possible. I spent a lot of time spec'ing this one out so I am pretty attached to it just like my old one.

And the response was...$35K.

$50K drop from MSRP in 16 months :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:
