Fortunately I didn't give up! The financing we needed came through, so now it's just a waiting game until A. I can find a car that fits my specifications at my price (not likely), or B. the car I ordered at Roadshow comes in here in about 5-6 more weeks (most likely).
I'd still like to stop by and say hi to you all at Magazine! We need an excuse for a beautiful drive anyway, and those GTi's can handle the twisties *almost* as well as the MINIs
