So I am 99% sure I will be selling the Formula 500; there is an autocross on Sunday.

I am thinking that it's a jinx to run the car.

What say the hive???

One of two things is gonna happen: its gonna be fine or it aint.

Id rather it aint happen to me instead of the guy that just bought it.

Send it.  When it survives, its proof positive that it's in good shape for the next owner.

Run it and put a for sale sign on it at the event.

I had a friend that took his Buell for one last ride as a guy was driving from 60 miles away to pick it up.

A lady pulled out in front of him and he had to lay it down.

No sale.

So, make sure there are no little old ladies on course before you make your runs.

IMHO:  If you've got a buyer and a deposit then don't run it, because it's kind of partially not your car any more.  Otherwise it's good to go!

In reply to codrus (Forum Supporter) :

Agreed. If I take a deposit on a vehicle I usually just shove into a corner out of the way until the buyer picks it up within a pre-agree timeframe.

If I'm mostly thinking about selling it, it's fair game.

I'm not superstitious, but once upon a time, I turned down an offer on a Miata, drove it to work the next day and hit a deer on my way home.
 

So...

I ran the car today and it was fine.

I've advertised so I won't be driving it anymore
