My car is for sale!

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/236993972.html

Apparently, ahahahahahaha.

I can guarantee you this car does not have an HKS T04Z, nor does it have an HKS GTII wastegate. It's definitely a T04B and a Turbonetics Racegate. The depressing thing is I still have the faceplate to the stereo, maybe I should drop it off to the guy sometime. I wonder how much he bought it from the impound yard for, hahahaha.

i wonder how he wound up getting the title for it... probably still not transferrable, might be a shady deal who knows.

They do a lien sale. So he doesn't actually have the title but instead he has some paperwork saying he owns it.

I was driving it home from a day of tuning when I got pulled over by the cops. They threw the freakin' book at me. In Sacramento these days, being young and driving a "street racing" car is more liable to get you arrested than dressing up like Tyrone Biggums and asking cops for rocks. I hadn't gotten it smogged yet, but that wasn't even close to the biggest problem. It turns out that the guy I bought it from apparently didn't own the car, and the last time the car had been actually registered was sometime around 2002. The title he had given me was a fabricated title, and the plates that came with the car were for something else, too.

The ticket for me to pay was going to be close to $1600, but my father's a lawyer so we did some research, showed up to the register at the courthouse and it worked out to me paying $300 and never having to go to court. The only catch was that I never got the car back. (Well, I could have bought it at the lien sale, but I was depressed, cracked open my piggy bank and bought an FD).
