That is all true. I hope to eventually get out of this region (money permitting).
What part of Long Island did you get the car from. I live near the South Shore in the middle of Long Island and have yet to put mine in a parking garage. I have bought 2 SVX's on Long Island and 1 I had shipped from Colorado. Don't know what kind of enviornment is in Colorado Springs but it was in pretty good shape.
