My Two Door Twin

Check this one out guys. Almost identical to mine. Check out his asking price!!! That's crazy, but thinking about it I've spent almost as much on mine. But no way can you re-coupe your losses. I have less miles and mint interior. Funny he doesn't show pics of the interior.

It's pretty nice. WAY too expensive. He doesn't have the Lorinsers though. Yours is still nicer. :p

I agree its a very nice looking car, but the price is way too high.

I don't expect to get the money back I have spent on mods.

I don't see anything wrong with buying a car someone else has already modded. If it's what you like and it's been done right, why not let the other guy sink his money into it and then buy it for pennies on the dollar. If you sell a modded car and get back half of your customization/restoration costs, you're lucky in my opinion.

Thanks for the link Ram. But still no pics of the interior. Just curious to see the condition for that kind of $$. I agree there's nothing wrong with buying a
modded car let some other guy sink in the $$$ for you.

I kinda feel what this guy is saying about all the looks. The few times I've taken my baby out it's been border-line hilarious. I get thumb-up signs from strangers and people slowing down traffic to take pics on their cam-phones.
I'm just realy nervous about parking her anywhere less some player-h8ter keys her like my other two rides... Arrrgggg. That reminds me

*Alon - are you ready to go with the alarms? Let me know..

thanks,

~Cali

Yeah, too expensive. Plus what's the fun in buying a car you can't work on yourself. If I was a painter and I bought another artists work, I would feel kinda stupid. It's really different when you do it yourself. You'd treasure it more.
