so, since I have one sitting collecting sawdust in my garage right now,  I'm curious about details on the 2003 "civic dooty" entry

Who is this brave (wise) soul?

Does the car have headlights?  I ask because they are worth $500+ each.  In my ramblings of considering a Crossfire, I always figures headlamp sale recoup and then run smoked plexi where the lamps should be. 

He still has the giant and odd (read expensive) 19" rear tires. Other Benz wheels will fit. I'd have gone to a square set up all around. 

Is this car under $2k?

In reply to John Welsh :

Don't quote me, but I think I heard that with recoup it may be under half budget with he headlights intact.

I think surfshibby owns it?

For as much dogging as the Crossfire takes...  my better half loves hers. We put it on an 18x8.5" front and 18x9.5" rear. Outside of the dumb headlight / turn signal issues they all have and some other minor quirks, it's been a great car. Just passed 100k on it. 

Wish I was there. Tod sent this great shot of Bill in his Viper. Extra points for my truck charging the battery on the PLB MR2 in the background!

In reply to John Welsh :

Got that bad boy the day before the challenge lol. Has 264k miles and is a 6 speed manual. Its very rough but it drove 300 miles round trip to the challenge and survived. I drove it to the gym this morning lol.

Didn't take many photos, apparently!

Last one from the potato cam of that red CRX. That thing was awesome and I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to the owner.

In reply to CrustyRedXpress :

That was a favorite car of ours to watch. We all cheered when you pulled the c5 on the drag strip

Not mine!

Though I ran a similar one in 2019.

I'm a little late to the show, but here's one of my favorites from our team, trying to put the car on the door handles:

WTF?

In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :

That was my guess, but the verbiage was just too cheery.
