Default Talk me down, about to make a big mistake.

But hey, that's what life is all about isn't it? I know I'm trouble when the wife says "it's your money". I'd love to drive this one to SITM.

Bought it! Thanks for nothing guys. Now I have a nice little project ahead of me. Should I drive this or the S4 to SITM? Decisions, decisions.

Looks like a fun project. I'd have bought it, too.

Good luck, with it and the rest of "your" money.

Brian.

$3,000...... these deals will not last forever.

You cannot buy a decent riding mower for $3k.

You're damn lucky. I had my phone in hand, calling with my bank wire details.

Nicely bought. Welcome to the asylum. More pics please.

Straight, love the color.





And it's a 5 speed! Gotta figure out how to get those wheel locks off, remove front and rear clip for paint, get the hvac working...

Trust me, I would love to but my wife said no. The red S4 has been gone through and we have a high level of confidence it'll make the trip with no hiccups. The blue 5spd had no maintenance records at all, not a one. Low level of confidence but I've been having a blast with it today. Love that manual gear box!

Grrrrr. I'm calling the TN patrol.

You stole that car.

Very tasty, presuming it runs well, and the int is pretty nice as well.
