Sweet. You want it? If you do, hopefully we'll be bidding eachother, I just might put off mods to my current GSL-SE, and get another. That'd be excellent with me.

I want them ALL! I can't help it!

And of course, no offense intended, I am sorry about your mishap, of which we are all aware. I suppose we'll just have to see how this plays out, eh?

Good. Now Manntis is OFFICIALLY cool.

Black is the absolute best color. I have three black guitars, I always wear black, I own a black rx-7. Although, I must say, silver or tornado silver would be my next choice.

Yeah, I'm kinda partial to silver...

But then again, that's probably because my baby is silver (see avatar)

Just in case whoever bid $2800 reads this, the negine smokes after it is driven a few days. This selfish............uh.... *bastard* is asking $3500 (or best offer) yeah right. You could get a 2nd gen. in that condition for the same price. Unfortunately, someone will probably buy it.

Who knows... FYI

All of this interest in this car, but yet so little in mine that has 53K less miles for virtually the same price. I don't get it...

Well, I am really interested in the car because it is even more mint than mine, and it had a rebuild. I mentioned the engine smoking, but he was referring to the small puff of smoke that comes out the muffler when the car starts up. Mine does that anyway. I hope no one else wants to buy it, because I really want to blow money I don't even have yet on another seven.

I am now in the 'talking my grandpa into lending me some money' phase. I really want it.

Anyone know why these links aren't working?

The first link isn't working because it's missing the second half of the query =)
Perhaps somebody copied and pasted incorrectly?

The second one looks like the server is just down...
