The differential gears look PERFECT, the stock tq arm doesnt even have fatigue or stress cracks, the windshield doesnt even have a scratch on it, ect. ect. ect.
ANyways, yeah, I hopes its all just simple stuff. has anyone here read "From a Buick 8"-Stephen King?
Anywho, sorry, I am not a really sarcastic person and I fail to grasp it often.

3rd, first owner was an older lady (not a teenager basically). Second owner (since 20K) was a 40+ yo texan who drove it as a sunday car and garaged it its while stay with him (as is evidenced by the PERFECT windshield, un-cracked dash, unbleached back-seat and immaculate paint).

If I was going to buy a lid, I would buy the k&n fipk(kit not just filter, check their web site) kit for it instead, or the suncoast intake since I have the suncoast hood too. Anyway if you do go with a lid, don't skimp on the wheelie bars

actually, his car is 5 years old so it should have 75k, which is what it has, which means that it was a DD.

It's 4 years older than your car and it's only got 14K miles. Your car was driven about 18K miles per year. That's higher than national average actually. It was likey used as a daily driver.

well it still proves the point that the guy that sold it to him lied about only driving it on sundays.

Any car that gets driven 15-18K miles per year is no 'sunday only' driver.

He must have been independently wealthy to have that kind of free time on his hands. Either way, the point is the car certainly hasn't been spared any bad weather with that sort of regular usage. To me, a sunday driver is a car that only comes out on nice, sunny weekends and that's about it. By your definition, just about any car could be a sunday driver.

Meh, 0 underbody rust, Not even a peck on the windshield, only 1 MINOR door-ding, 1 rock chip. A couple minor scratches around hte fog lamp area (small branch maybe?). Perfect Tq-arm. window motors that go up AT THE SAME TIME! (I race them often...I bet on the left but its always a dead heat
). Engine bay with barely a layer of dust at all, no scrapes on the skidplate thing. Either way, guy cared about the thing...A LOT.

). Engine bay with barely a layer of dust at all, no scrapes on the skidplate thing. Either way, guy cared about the thing...A LOT. I noticed that in the pics you posted when you got the new plates. The writing/graphics tend to fade in the sun/weather if you don't keep it waxed. Also, in those same pics I noticed that the fog light lenses, running light/blinker lenses, and taillights could use some plastic polish and a little wax to look their best.Not trying to down the car or anything, it actually does look VERY clean for having almost 80K miles on it, but if you address those little areas I mentioned it would look even better. Attention to detail is what separates "great" from just "good", IMO.
If you lived closer to Chicago, I'd tell you to bring the car over to me and we'd get all that little stuff taken care of. I think you'd be pleasently surprised at the difference
