I live in a small (<25K) town and we're the biggest place in a 40 mile radius. I've seen two 350s in town (one stays parked most of the time and the other is painted Home Depot Orange with an over-sized wing on the back). I may be the only 370 in town. But I don't get out much and there may be another 370 running around. I doubt if there are two more in town.

I have a slight leaning toward the Mustang. They've gone back to a more "classic" look that I like a lot. If the Ford dealer can locate something with a lot better handling than the base I drove and in my price range, that's probably the way I'll go. But I don't want to have to rent a car while waiting for them to find something, so I'm still open to something else.

Where in SARK are you? I live in Warren and drive a 2011 black 370 that I get serviced at Welch in Pine Bluff or Trotter in El Dorado. I prefer Welch though. I only have 6k in my town and am definitely the only 370 in town. There are two 350s also. Definitely love the cheap housing and land too!

I'm in ElDo. Apparently the population has dropped quite a bit since I last checked; Wikipedia says 18,491 in 2012. It was up to around 30K back in the late-'60s.

I wish you a lot better luck with Trotter (was Murphy until recently) than I have had. Haven't tried Welch but, at this point, I'm pretty disgusted with Nissan dealers. If I can't find a replacement car soon, I may give Welch a call.

If you want to get together and talk cars over burgers, PM me.
