    Sweet! But I think I'd change the rims and maybe lower it a bit. :D

    BTW is automatic or manual?

    It doesn't look street legal.

    There is no way I can tow a horse trailer up a mountain through construction in a storm with my seven children their five friends and all our camping gear.

    Obviously, this car is of no use to me.

    Not bad.
    127 years old, and thirty percent of them are still around----one still running.
    This means that 5-percent of all 1884 De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos Steam Runabouts ever produced are "still on the road".
    Pretty impressive record.

    I wonder if a hundred and twenty years from now, 5-percent of all Priuses will still be operational??
