I'll take it for $950,000. I can pay off my mortgage with that kind of money and have plenty left over for buying a nice car.









What?



He wants me to pay him?

Te only art in that is if it happens to be the drivers name. looks dangerous to be on the road, driving and as a distraction to others......

They have sure added allot more crap to it than the last time it made it's appearance:

BTW, I have that pic dated from November of '06.
Also, the pics are taken pretty much in the same place, so I guess that's been 3.5 years of crap addage.......

... anybody notice the lack of a tach?...
no engine shots, is it a turbo?
I believe 25MPG as easily as I believe that space shuttle on the roof will take off...

the Art Car event is something that should be attended! i've been to three -but only remember one. my friend entered a bicycle VW bug that i got to help drive. the frame -pan- failed halfway thru the event bc they tried to cut too much to lighten the the car. NO BRAKES! so, everyone had to put their foot on a wheel to stop the car. we could never get out of fist gear with four people pedaling. what a blast!

I'm impressed by the dash only. An uncracked blue dash in an 83 is hard to find.

how can you tell it's uncracked? there's so much crap in the one well exposed pic that you can't see 1/2 the dash, and the other pic is just sooo overexposed you can't see the dash condition.

Well . . . it is his car, and he can do whatever he wants to it, but . . . seems to me a shame to waste a good MB like that!
