Maybe the owner really wanted that color top and found it at a wrecking yard. Then they had an indy install it, so might not be reported to Carfax as a service history as is just a customization, not a repair.

I would consider the top color a winner, but I might be prejudice?

Both cars look spectacular! I did see an inspiration series in person at an event in Durham (NC) and it's beautiful spec!

Beautiful car. It doesn't hurt that I teach at Mississippi State University and the car matches our school colors. Of course, after our dismal football season I may want to spray paint it another color...

No sir, just took your forum identity and college affiliation and gave it to Google.
I am totally into kids toys.
For every family who has a child in my community I bring them meal and a toy for each kid. The baby gets a toy with an elephant. It is my social science experiment to try to create moderate Republicans in the next generation.
OK, back to toy business, Building Blocks is the best store here in Chicago. Your website is very good and quickly pointed to stores near me (but alas Building Blocks is one one of them).

Wow, very cool. I now know about Glo Pals! Great Idea, it’s very hard to go from idea to ROI. Congratulations!

Well, thanks for the kind words and interest. For anyone else who might be reading, Glo makes liquid activated cubes used in drinks (Tito's bought a bunch of customized cubes for New Years) More importantly, they use the technology to make children's sensory toys. Glo was a student startup when I worked at the Mississippi State University Entrepreneurship Center up until last July. The student who had the idea actually interned for Tesla then turned down a full-time job with them to start this business. They're now in 40 countries and give a portion of each sale to the state children's hospital. I retired from the university to be part of their senior management team as they have grown into a $25,000,000 operation. Most of the staff is under 30. Very proud of them.

Very cool. Hit me up next year and I can donate some Glo Pals for some of your kids. BTW, I'm an elected Republican official and pray for the day BOTH parties return to a more civil, moderate position. I have a masters in public policy and it breaks my heart to see the divisiveness.

Thank you Sir
The all powerful gives me way more than I deserve so I am happy to take from my pocket to give to others
I will have to go to those inferior toy stores to get the Glo
I had seen that you had the Mayor title along the way, but did not chase the political affiliation element
Back to the car, for me driving it makes me feel like there is nothing wrong with the world (even though we all know that is not the case)
I hope you enjoy your car that much and in the best of health
