    Took a $500 deposit on the Blue '72. They should be back in the next day or two with the rest of the money.

    Pushed it around the yard just so I could mow where it was parked.
    The thing moves easier than my lawn mower.... wouldn't be that bad to push if it broke down if it wasn't for the maniac drivers lol.
