I'm torn. On the one hand, we really, really need the garage space. On the other, I really, really love this car.

I'll be happysad to see it go.

I think you should buy it. There should be a grm museum and this should be in it.

I considered it, but honestly I hope this car goes for far more money than I have to spend.

I think Mike would be proud to see his creation finished and used, but I think he'd be even prouder to know that his creation helped send his daughter to college.

I hope it brings six figures.

We talked about buying the Ro-spit back for that museum as well. We know where the Berzerkely is too. I was thinking of bidding on this car, as it is really cool, but I think I will stay out of it. I have 8 project cars backed up between the two magazines right now. You can't keep them all, keep them all running, or store them all. Sad truth of my life.

In reply to Tim Suddard:

Truth of my life as well. I sadly sold my Mini yesterday, and my life would be much easier with one less car.

I placed a bid anyway...

I hope the likes of CJ Wilson ($$$) and passion ends up with it. I see that Mazda Motorsports is sharing it's auction and story on their social media as well. We miss you Mike.

I hope the car gets the attention it deserves since it's a great build for a great cause. I wish I was in the position to buy it myself but unfortunately it isn't in the cards right now.
