About the pulled the trigger
After hours and hours of adding/removing options – I finally determined that the 25th Anniversary Edition would meet all the needs I’m looking for! Some of it may be overkill, and maybe it’s a mid-life crisis moment, but I figured the 25th anniversary edition would be perfect for my 50th year of life (in 2020!).
I should get one of the last 25th Anniversary cars, #22-25 – so we will see when it gets closer to ship time (Jan. 2020).
