It's about an hour away from me, but for beer money I'd go check it out, just because I kinda want to see it myself.

Hmmm...I can't see craigslist from work, but my interest is piqued.

An hour which way?

This is why I have no nice cars...

It's only got to stay running for long enough to do an autocross run and a drag run. Who needs a radiator?

Sometimes it's good to be broke. If I had more expendable income I'd have oddball cars all over the yard and an ex-wife.

Yep, that's what happened to me, 'cept I got rid of the wife first.

I am pretty sure that is an AC Cobra and not an MG midget. Right?

Oh...being broke shouldn't stop you...at at least it didn't stop me. You've just described my life quite succinctly. And: I...love...it!
