Scott Adams was amazed too. It took him three days before he threw down his $100. I'm trying to convince my son to do that. In two years his Silverado will be paid down and his SRT-8 will have appreciated. I don't think he appreciates needing one less parking space.

Thanks. I found out if you search for 'fashenfeld' you'll never find 'fachsenfeld'. I wanted that for the discussion of Peter Brock's Cobra Daytona Coupe. I think a key feature are the generous chamfers on the front corners.
Here's an article on edges:
