I was hoping this day wouldn't come. I hate to see you sell such a great car! Another purchase on the horizon, I hope?

Very Cool. Wish I had and extra 30K and a larger garage. You should not have to wait to long for your car to sell.

No one has bought it. Will is referring to the fact that Bringatrailer.com discovered the car and is featuring it on their site. They found it off this forum actually, it links back to here, so perhaps you have an influx of new members
Already received three emails asking about it though

I'm blocking Bring A Trailer so you'll have to keep the car! :P Nah, can't do it. I love that site.

Damn. I've been dreaming about your car since you listed it. The lottery didn't comply.

Congrats on the sale.
