I bought it in the 90's, and sold it in 2002. Didn't really want to see it go, but we relocated to Seattle and decided to have a house built. I was a contract programmer and used it to live in when I had to go onsite. After the Y2K fiasco, there wasn't a lot of demand for contract programmers, everybody had been fleeced with the Y2K scare and had blown their budgets. I ended up taking a job at the Costco Corporate headquarters in the IT department in Issaquah Washington and had no need to travel for work.
I did do some upgrades, I changed out the drivers and passenger seats that were out of a 80s vintage GM car with some Bostrom pneumatic truck seats, and replaced the steering column with a junk yard Acura steering column that I was able to move many of the dash controls to the steering wheel.
