Sometimes I wish I'd never left the bay area. Home sweet home. It would be maybe a 30 minute drive and I'd be there picking her up. Hopefully someone gets it that will treat her like you would if you were keeping her.

Screw CA emissions though. Ugh...

I can deal with strictly visual inspections from half-blind/all dumb rednecks and living by a beach you can actually swim in. :

You west coast boys should caravan out here sometime. I-40/Route 66 takes you all the way from Barstow to Wilmington (about 30 minutes down the coast from me). Next time I go back home to visit I'll be hitting up the whole west section most definately!

Sorry for the long-winded post Neo. I get all emotional about the old school stuff.

Yeah, the steering wheel is pimp. Along with the instrument cluster/gauges and dash. It looks like it was garage kept for awhile. Good-Luck with the sale and whoever buys it should be so lucky.

^^^ Oh, come on. How often do you come across a nice garage kept
RX-5/Cosmo like this one?! Probably hardly ever. What's shipping fees? This car looks definitely well worth it.

There is one on Ebay going for over $5000. Looks pretty damn good too.

I am watching it to see how well it sells. It can start a frenzy for them AGAIN!!!!!!

For the most parts these cars were well preserved more than the other cars. Maybe since they cost so damn much new, people tend to have them in storage like old cadillacs.

Good luck on the sale. If I were in the hunt for another rotary powered car, I would be all over it.
