Daun?,

Put the pipe down man. I was in San Jose Ca on my lunch break (doesn't
everybody go to the pick n pull on their lunch break?) and I was lucky
enough to be there as they dropped off a black S2 w/ leatherette and
split rear seats. The fronts were some kind of aftermarket seats, I
grabbed them too- although the corduroy in some places has worn
through, and also some large gauge cable that had run to a large amp
(long gone) in the back.
