Right? It took over 2 months to get my HELOC loan for my garage... from the same bank we've banked with for 15 years and have our home loan through. We have over 200K in equity in our house and I was only asking for 25K to finish the shop.

Car looks great! Having driven the entire PCH and mulholland a couple times... I can definitely think of some great areas to take it.

Side story... are there any local folklore stories of "ghost cars" on Mulholland? It was near dusk, I had a rental mustang with paddle shifters, and I was REALLY getting on it, to the point my wife was getting a little sick going around corners... anyway, this damn 80's looking brown VW bus was tracking me almost step for step... for miles. Kinda freaked me out. There was no way in hell he was keeping up with me, even up some pretty steep hills. I don't remember seeing any turn-offs... looked back and it was gone. Wife still brings it up every now and again. I'm sure there's some explanation, but it did freak us out a bit.
