I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

now this may or may not work since M$ couldn't figure out how to create a nice html file to save their life, but i think excel has a "save as" feature to save as web page, does it not? depends on your version likely, but 2003 does.

I gave that a shot, but the site was giving me hella errors. I talked to stephen about it and it's mostly security concerns so I'm trying to find a way that won't bork the site.

you have a mac? could print to pdf and then post it in your gallery, although this wouldn't be a huge improvement. it's small enough now that you might also be able to screenshot and post that in your gallery.

take it you're only including the "used" purchases?

Yeah. Doesn't really help including the new purchases since the market is all used. Maybe for depreciation calculations, but who does that?

Purchased in 2004:
1996 Boston Green Active (that has yet to be determined for sure)
77K (now pushing 128K, yikes!)
Leather, 5-speed, M front fascia (with ugly gray fog light hole covers), LSD, 10-spokes
Excellent aesthetic condition

Non-functioning airbags
Made a knocking noise when off the throttle and turning left. Dealer couldn't figure out what the hell it was, turned out to be motor mounts.

At first was $6300, after airbag issue was discovered he wanted $6000, after noise was discovered, $5800. Went out the door for that much.
