My purchase was going to be a surprise until...

... my brother called me today about an awesome looking '05 PS/B MCS for sale with only 11k miles on it. They were asking $27k, but the car had been sitting for quite some time and he thought the dealer "was ready to move on it" (meaning, probably could get it for $24k-25k)

I had to admit to him that my $26k, brand-new, fully-optioned and cooler-looking DS/B/B MCS was already on the boat...
