($3k less than the 450 and a lot more options.)
As I said in the other thread. Congrats will be happily given if'n you actually buy the car! LOL

Seriously though, I suspect you'll be really happy and the car will be great!

Thanks. There's a reason I'm so retarded about ride comfort. Back in May I elected to have a bulging lumbar disc repaired. Minor problem, not in excruciating pain or anything, more a continuous nuisance. Woke up in ICU, doc had lost control of a bone drill and took a chunk out of the nerve root.

He ended up destroying the nerve that allows the bladder to open, and the sensory nerves that innervate the left side of the groin. So in addition to having to use a catheter to **** I have no feeling in my left ****, and the Twig and Berries are now a half twig and one berry.

Needless to say, I'm hyper cautious about anything that might aggravate my back, which no longer hurts but also can never be operated on at that level again because scar tissue is now intertwined with the nerves and nobody will touch it.

And before anyone asks, my lawyers name is "Andy".

Wow, Mike. I have lower back problems and my doc has often suggested surgery. I think after reading what you've been through, I'll pass. But I can certainly see why comfort is imperative.
