    I don't care if I have to do a cartwheel to get in, I want it. I'll know today if the bank is going to finance the amount needed to get one. 2019 dark gray Roadster with just 14k miles.
    UPDATE: Glory to the Most High God... after two weeks of back and forth, the bank approved my loan. I've been driving my dream Roadster since mid-October 2022. It felt like it was now or never!
