I just made a list & it's *multiple* times what the car is worth; Talk about nauseating!
Seeing this, there's no way (barring a crisis) that I'd sell this thing for what I see them going for in the classifieds & such.
I think I'm going to be sick...
*edit*
since adding it "all" up, I remembered two more items came to mind that I had left out.

You don't want to know....
I can pretty much summarize the pain in three lines:
1. RHS 460
2. MWC
3. Fikse
Supporting mods and little "extras" are too numerous to list. Its gonna be fun though
