YES, YES, YES, I'm not the ONLY person that can't stand that, along with desert storm tan with black wheels. What happened to bright, fun colors ???

Car is very cool, Steve. I would think they have tight security there, with all that desirable iron sitting around.

Here's a photo of one of the storage lots (from a few years back) at the Brampton plant. It appears that recently, it is more economically feasible to ship out a car fresh off the assembly line, than retrieve and ship a car that has been sitting for a while in this storage mess in Brampton, Ontario. Some buyers have had cars stuck in storage limbo for months now.

I would be that guy that left the yellow protection strips on the front spoiler.

I would also want all the docs and paperwork. I did that when I bought my Monte SS brand new in 87.

FWIW, I'm a Gen X-er and ABSOLUTELY HATE BLACK WHEELS. The black has no style, covers or disguises the detail of the wheel and just looks terrible IMHO.

Worst trend in cars that refuses to die.
