Where is this located? it looks great!

Yeah, I'm in Southern California so the car conditions are usually pretty nice here. Thanks for all the advice!

I understand your concerns and it's really hard to explain to people the situation but the guy who owns the business is my boss and is giving me the car at cost to him. I already bought my BMW for him and he's paid for everything that has come up with the car, even after I purchased it. You're...
