no joke. I think it needs wide whitewalls and an airbag drop. It would make it look 40' long (when it's really only 30.)

So do I, I shouldn't have sold it. Maybe one of these days I'll have money and can get a 205gti.

Well I have my 2011 Volvo C30...It has $700 in back fees due to the California DMV, so if you take it out of state, it would be worth $700 more.

I did have someone offer me $2,000 for it, but he found it would cost too much to have it shipped so the savings were negated.   

I can't sell it any cheaper than $2,000 otherwise I will remove the drivetrain for my son's V50, but then I am left with a shell and now what?

 

I sent a query about this to a buddy who is into C30's.  I doubt he needs it, but he might know someone.  Manual trans?

The C30 is an automatic.

I had someone in Chicago want to buy my MX-3 racecar until he found Elk Grove is in California, not Elk Grove Village in Illinios, so if the OP really wants a story, drove the mx-3 racecar from sac to chicago. :)

Other than the BiTurbo, I think I've located my least sane choice: unbelievably rare high mileage Ducati/Cagiva/Suzuki content.

I'm a sucker for "you'll never ride another one of these" type bikes but I'm not sure I can survive 3000 miles of that riding position.

PM received, reply sent, let me know if you don't get it for some reason since GRM emails can be wacky.

Just bumping this again- TurboFocus, did my emails make it back?  I don't want them to disappear into the void, your car is cool and I would like to drive it home for you.

EDIT: Also that Cagiva dropped to $1500, hmm....

Now the quest is on for the oddest thing to get you to drive 3k miles!

Drive?  Hell, use that and go via Panama Canal!  :)
