$700 for a new commuter? Bet I can get a little less than that too. I just love that kink in the body over the rear wheel.

Offer him $500 and use the rest to buy a DOT approved helmet and a HANS device.

Because this thing would be unkind in a crash.

I meant 24 Hours of Lemons. It would make a great Lemons car.

Lol most HANS devices cost as much as this car. And he'd really want a Snell Rated Auto helmet. DOT rated motorcycle helmets don't have fireproof liners.

Thanks for the correction on helmets. I'm more used to the motorcycle side of things, so I'm unfamiliar with the ratings.

Lol, no problem. Actually before I forget there are motorcycle Snell Ratings and Auto Snell Ratings. I've made sure to get Snell Helmet, I don't want my head to get set on fire in my hooptie ass race car.

At this price and with that gas mileage, I don't think you can afford not to.

Manual? Check.

Light? Check.

Made by a lesser-known/forgotten brand? Check.

Odd number of cylinders? Check.

Cheap? SUPER CHECK.

Pretty damn jalop.

yeah, precisely my thoughts. I do have family in Australia, where they were far more popular, perhaps bringing axles over in their carry on is a possibility. Hell, its only the 3 cylinder version, how big can the engine even be, just have them bring me a whole replacement just in case :P

I asked for VIN for carfax, and some more pictures, so perhaps he is just taking his time getting all the things I need #optimism

or, its a $700 car and I asked too many questions and he doens't want to deal with me for such little money #pessimism

my father is quite the frequent traveler, of the sort where the airlines do nice things for you, excess baggage is no issue :P
