Ever notice your reflection when standing next to one of these black cars?

Kind of like walking through the "Fun House" at the circus.

Nice car!

Nice car!

I'd like to see the Fun House reflection of myself in that car......... in my garage! But for the time being, I am nothing but a tire kicker......

Good luck with the sale, sir.
