Who from Michigan is heading to the Challenge this year. With the new job I will not be able to so, again, I am fubar.

I would like to offer someone a car to drive to Georgia and the gas money to get them there as well as a couple bucks for food.

Let me know if you are heading down by eMail if possible, I have very limited access to the forum during work.

You should see if there is anything in svrex's stable that you need. Since someone is already going there.

JB already touched on it...

I'm going to the Challenge. I am enroute to Gainesville. The car JB is trying to move is mine.

I've got several things I'm selling that might interest someone. All my cars are RUST FREE! (REALLY rust free!)

Drivers that would make it back to MI: '91 Metro (nice shape except for 1 fender and the AC), '91 Miata (faded paint, several dings, new top, my DD), 5 spd SVX.

Car that MIGHT make it back to MI: '86 CRX SI (cracked/ loose plastic body panels, smokes, my son's DD)

Cars that would have to be trailered: The Yugo from Hell, Dodge Spirit RT, Lotus Europa, Subaru Justy, 23' camper trailer, '67 Corvair 'vert.

There. THAT should give you guys PLENTY to think about!

You can come to the Challenge, help out a brother, have your trip expenses covered, AND go home with something cool!!

It just doesn't get any better!

Oh, I forgot...

If anyone wants something REALLY cool, I'll sell my '60 El Camino. It would make the trip to MI, be a great adventure, and be your pride and joy for a long time...

...but THAT one is a bit out of the price range of most folks on this board.

got any prices on the runners?

I would take that gamble on the CRX, but I don't have a trailer to get the others north...

The CRX would probably make it. My son drives it to work for a 2 hour commute every day. But it is burning oil, and nearing challenging project status. It's not a good candidate for a restoration. If you are thinking about a motor, an ongoing racer project- great car. It belongs to my son, so I can't name the price, but it will be very fair.

I'd take $1500 for either the Metro or the Miata.

Could the Miata tow the Europa? I need it like a disease.

I could drive one of the drivers (or trailer one of the non-drivers) to the Challenge, and swap there.

Anybody?

Info on the Miata: Red, black interior, 190K, daily driver, no mods, new top, AC doesn't work, black fleck powder coated wheels, CD player. Faded paint and interior, half a dozen dings all around, but no major wreck. Florida car- completely rust free. Does not use oil. It's not perfect, but I would trust it to jump in and go across the country. Or, it would make a neat little racer project.

$1500.00 Plus the "Mr. Obvious" point to the post 10 above yours.
