Default my new AP2

I finally bought an '05 silverstone with 46 k miles for $21 k in mightyfine condition. It was a fair price to both the seller and to me I believe. Having just retired and moved from Maine to Tennessee gives me more top down driving time. I've been reading this forum for about six years to gather info on this car, and have been watching craigslist, so I finally pulled the trigger on one of these rigs. I'm happy. Two days after I bought it I noticed an Article in USA Today titled " the top ten most collectable cars in the past 30 years". The good ole S2K made the list. They ballparked it for $25 k.

Good find. These cars are going to be the Datsun 240Z of a different era in another decade.

Good pick! I drove my '06 Silverstone yesterday in Richmond. Roof down, of course. Been a month since the last drive and I needed one!
