I was also impressed with how my badass mailbox stood there and remained unscaved.

Thats what I'm hoping. I bought the car from a friend because I thought I would make a profit when I sold it. When I was ready to sell I found that noone wanted them anymore and was stuck with it. Very curious to find out what I'm going to get for it.
