Ha! long story actually..
I guy e-mailed me and offered $43,000 for my car. This was "almost" what I had into it and I was VERY tempted to take it and then start a new project.. why??? because at my new job I get all kinds of freebies and I could build a better car for less $$$.
In the end I decided not to do it since it just felt so WRONG to sell a car I have worked so hard on without first getting to play in it for a while. So I told him no thanks. Maybe I will regret it later but I doubt it.
So then we got in a discussion on Pro-touring.com about the value of Pro-Touring cars, Barret-Jackson and some of the low content cars that are advertised for large $$$$$$. I had a promotional cupon for collector car trader online (from when I sold my WRX) so for fun I put it on there for, what I thought, was a high amount. It was more of a curiosity than anything to see what kind of wacky offers and responses I would get.
It's been on there one day and I have an offer to trade it for a nice C5 and some guy emailed me if I would take $52.5k.. of course these guys could be full of horse **** but it's fun to play along.
But no, not selling (unless I get some crazy offer).. the car is getting final buff this week then interior next week. After that we are doing an install story on the paddle shifting system followed by a safety article where we will be installing a roll bar, harness and all that stuff. When that is all done it will be FEATURE time
Whew!! how was that explanation???

Sounds like it should be a pretty cool project. I imagine it is going to be a streetable set up?

Thats cool Steve im glad you are keeping it after all....... with only 55 miles it would be so hard for me........ Part f me would want to cruise it till my hearts content, but part of me would be scared of stupid other drivers on the road........ Oh BTW what Magazine do you work for?? PM me if you dont want it posted publicly.
Thanks
