Awesome story. I love hearing people say "your car is so rare" and "these came in manual?!?" when I tell them it's an original 5speed

I sold my 3 spoke steering wheel today. The person on here just PM'd me, did post on the for sale thread or anthing. We PM'd back and forth & then he just paid. He's local so i told him Id bring it to him. I told him to call me. He calls & as we began to talk, I could tell it was an older gentleman. Turns out he's 66 & has owned his 95 SC400 for 7-8yrs. The wheel he bought from me today is his 4th wheel to buy. We talked alot more & he seem like a really cool guy & I excited to meet him. He says he has a whole garage full of parts that he has bought but has not installed yet. So I think im gonna make a new friend & be able to help out another CL member & make alittle cash on the side.

I have gotten compliments for my SC from one of the most unusual folks out there...

A cop...

...When she pulled me over, she kept telling me how nice the car was in terms of body lines,colors and condition...She still gave me a ticket though.

Not when you compare it to other stock cars of similar years. Yeah they are some that look better, but many more that don't even come close to this car.

The 2nd generation looks much more attractive in stock format.
I noticed a lot of people slow down on the freeway, till they get in my blind spot to check out the car, then they give me
thumbs up.
