Thumbs down

dimab_32, nice purchase. of course, you can quickly end up spending 10 times the prices you paid on the car in mods and maintenance, lol

We perchased it from Copart, the car was located in Martinez.
the car was striped inside the entirior, but we have almost all of the parts for it and its almost ready to go.
Our cousin won this car for us, you have to have an acount and you pay for it if you play cars online. we payd him like $100 to win it.

oh man you are so lucky, i wish i could find a deal like that. but then again i would have to clear out more space in my garage for 2 FD's instead of one. plus i would have to hear it from the General ( aka Wife ) about buying the same car again without getting her a 2006 Escalade.....

Or if you don't want a rotary drop a turbo'd LS1

they used to let people in to see the cars, but people started stealing little things off them, stuff like stereos and junk they can carry out. so now its all online. they give u lots of pics and info as best as they can.
hope that helps
