-well the one that used 13,000+ posts belching about the lack of assembly manuals DIDN'T need one.
Kept the manicure perfect and drove Doug, Pete and Bob nuts.

I'll bet you a doughnut that if you asked Peter he would tell you "Pat was an absolute prince to us all, I wish we had a thousand more like him."

Actually, towards the end of the build Doug called me so many times it got to the point where I said "Doug, if you think it needs to be done, just do it, you don't have to check with me." Absolutely true (and a smart move by me, if I do say so myself).

Is that why you installed two roll bars and painted your car silver beige?

I'd still like to hear an answer from one of the CSX vendors as to whether a set of high quality manuals for the cars really exists, or whether that's just an urban legend.

NONE of the CSX vendors feels obliged enough to answer anything you ask. A manual or lack thereof isn't going to gain or lose them any sales.
Put this soap box in the cupboard where you keep the solid lifter, gizmo tool, buy ERA and dual rollbar soapboxes.

<sigh>... alright. But it would be nice if at least one of the vendors would simply show the token courtesy of answering the question.
