I found a deal on this (maybe too good to be true, we'll see) and it's almost exactly what I wanted. 5MT would have appeased the go-fast part of me, but the 5EAT with wheel-mounted suggested shift buttons isn't terrible.
It's had a LOT of money spent on it (by someone else), but what good is that if the mechanic isn't too great...we'll see.

Swapped on my GT-B wheels.

Looking at getting an 07-09 stereo to get input (WTF SOA) and some new front/rear linkage bits to tighten up the steering and get rid of some of the klunking. Struts are in bad shape but it's a cruiser.
Certainly the most powerful car I've ever owned and crossing my fingers that I won't find any hidden issues that will necessitate more money being spent. There's a "holy %#$^" when I really want to move that I remember from 10 years ago (when I sold my BJ TW)
Some may recall that SOA invited me to the dealer launch event for the BL/BP in Vegas and to NAIAS in 04, and I've looked forward to the day when I could own one of these cars. I have a VERY soft spot in my heart for the BC/BF/BJ and would LOVE to own another 5MT Touring Wagon, but THIS is one of the spiritual successors to that car, and it's really an upgrade from my BK, BG, and BH.
