Plan on flying in and picking this up. Looking for a possible chauffeur / coordinator who is willing to be paid in burgers and beer.

Good inventive approach to picking up a new to you car. Hope you find a member at that location to help.

The vendor sounds fairly honest about what he is selling. I am just wondering if you can stand the increased speed in that thing.

I was looking at that today... SOOOO wanted to put in a bid on it.
I'm glad I did not, you'll treat her good.
I live about 2 hours away, when are you planning on picking it up? I MIGHT be tempted to help youse out...

Dude, you forget I live here, right? I can even pick it up with the car carrier and keep it safely at the house for you.
