No state income tax in Nevada, so the move to Las Vegas would free up more cash for more toys! Congrats on the CGT!

And... no tax on private party auto purchases. Drives car dealers nuts here.

CJ, if it's possible to both truly admire someone you've never met - while simultaneously hating their guts - that's how I feel about you. Good work!

I know Bob Read really well. He taught me how to drive my GT3 on the track. I knew he was selling his GT3 Cup over the winter. Glad to hear he is into BSRs!

I can only imagine the new toy that Fred picked up... I haven't seen him since last September. I need to check in with that whole crew...

(Sorry to hijack this thread CJ. I can't believe you purchased a CGT! I am jealous like Triode...)

Congrats man, well deserved!

O and you should definitely do that! I've got a garage spot for ya. LOL

One of my best friends works for Pete at Excellence. Let me know what you were thinking.

You have a SM, a SBox, and are looking for a 997Cup

Dude - you are Crazy with a capital C(in a good way).

GL with the CGT purchase.

Hope to see you at MSR sometime.

Envy..................slowly turning to jealousy. Hope it checks out CJ. First thing you should do is mount a camera so the rest of us can ride along!

decided to pass on the red car- seller didn't want to fully disclose to my liking, so I went elsewhere. as pogue and others pointed out, no reason to take risks on a car in this price range.


so I ended up getting the black one instead.

05, warranty until august, 4500 miles. black on 2 tone ascot and black. luggage, etc. owner is a friend of mine...no stories. a bit more $ but worth it in the long run.

thanks- your advice along with a few others really resonated when they didn't want to email/disclose the repair bills.

Congrats again!!! I like black better anyway.

You have one of the best selections of race/racy cars I've seen and it just keeps getting better. Good Show.
