Yeah you and me both :/

I sold her to a friend to pay bills. I keep in touch with him and help him work on it occasionally. At least I still have my fd lol

I sold mine after gas got too expensive, the bridgy got like 8 mpg lol. I sold it on ebay to a guy in New Zealand who flew here to Californa and put the car in a container to ship it back.

Wow, wish I had that kind of luck with a sale. I originally bought the fb off a couple in Cali. It wouldn't pass emissions so Cali wanted it crushed. Having it shipped by truck cost me almost as much as purchasing the car lol

That's true shipping cars is not cheap... for instance I sold my Z on ebay to a collector in Georgia who had it transported. I forget how much it cost him but it was a lot lol

That is one of the cleanest z's I've ever seen! That's a turbo one too isn't it?

Err actually no, it was a 79 ZX-R, a rare special-edition model. It came with a whale-tail wing that made lots of downforce. They didn't start making turbo's until 81. I should have never sold it it was probably my favorite car ever... :\ ...but I wanted to get faster as a driver so I needed a car that was more capable... thus I turned to the dark side of RX7's.
