    Bob have you looked into a matrix or corolla? If budget is a concern this might be a good alternative option since Honda's are out.

    Thanks Mike your funny lol.

    My pulling issue was actually a bad PS box with a bad valve and bad a-arm bushings. The super wide 265s are also pulling into the tractor trailer grooves in the road.

    But Bob, seriously if the wheels are all bent and there is vibration the guy had to have sit something pretty good. Its a unibody so if he smashed it pretty decently chances are the unibody is damaged. I myself would seriously walk, specially after he said he had it in for repair and they didnt fix it-betcha hes trying to pawn it off.

    I'm not sure if it's in your friend's price range, but Bugatti has a new Vitesse model out.


    I would get that instead.

    Wow, you passed on the Bugatti? It looks pretty sweet.
