Azryan:

Mine is Emerald Green, as well. '99, stick, fabric interior.

I did get stuck with the Bose, and some other stuff I didn't want (side sills, etc.) because I had to take one off the lot and they didn't have many on the lot. There was only one dealer close to me, and my '90 Taurus had just blown a head gasket (not worth repairing) and I needed a car ASAP. There were only two with stick and w/o leather, and I didn't want the white one.

Mine also has foglights, but they're dealer installed, not factory, so the switch is a cutout next to the stick shift and blocked by the handbrake. It has a dealer installed alarm, but it's not done very well (the brain is strapped to the bottom of the steering column and easily accessible, and the solenoids they used for the door lock make it kind of stiff).

I would have much preferred a special order car with the stuff that I wanted, but overall I'm still extremely happy with the car. I didn't pay much for the extras I didn't want, as the dealer gave me a decent price break and 0% financing for 3 years. So, it was a good deal. But it does have Bose speakers in it.

Oh, and a pack of cigarettes would take up half my trunk.

I disagree. If the Outlaws had their stuff out *NOW*, and I had $500k sitting in the bank from making it with the dotcom, I still think I'd go with the Outlaw stuff. I mean, price (at least value) still matters even if you have more money than you need. I won't be replacing my Miata with a Jaguar because I don't think Jags are a good value even if they are ungodly sexy. I also wouldn't replace a 770 with $5000 monoblocks.

On the other hand, time IS money. I'm waiting for the 950 because I have to; I don't have the money to do anything else. If I had the money now, I'd rather get a decent value, like the Anthem, rather than wait another six months for a great value. But I'd still probably try to get the best value available to me at the time.
