My beautiful dancing while wearing a Lycra suit went fine.
More interestingly, I requested my complete set of images on DVD.
They happily complied, and I hobbled my way back to the car and drove home.
I put the disc into the drive, only to discover it is some proprietary format that requires Windows. I don't actually own a Windows computer... I generally avoid proprietary formats and use Linux. This appears to require running a .exe to even view the images.
No, I can't open any of the files. They're not using a standard image format.
I'm going to have to install WINE and hope for the best.
That's terrible. That's absolutely horrible.
I think the person that came up with this idea should be flogged in public, and forced to throw me a parade.

I deny ever calling it a sedan. ....how much do used/good-condition parts for one of these go for compared to a modern vehicle with planned-obsolescence built-in more prominently?

They're quite a bit more to maintain, and today's vehicles are mechanically more reliable and longer lasting.
There's not a lot of call for B30 engine parts, or drive train. So, parts are costly. At the same time, I'd be surprised if I put more than 1,000 miles on it in a year.

Not for me then. I drive cars into the ground. But I can generally, and deeply, identify with the arousal sparked by the prospect of achieving some level of symbiotic union with a mechanical masterwork. Despite this, I must balance any deep expression of understanding and sentimentality with a crude counter-demonstration of sardonic nonchalance: (NSFW) https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x359dd
