i'd love to part it out, most of it is mint lol!

lol

somehow, I think even YOU couldn't take a knife to that carcass, Jamie.
I could see you doing hellacious block-long burnouts though!
and installing a 1900 watt sound system playing death-rock!

If I was in a position to buy said vehicle, I still wouldn't. But if I could afford to buy 2 of them, I might consider it as a collector's piece...and then maybe, some day I could do what many of the Ferrari owners did in the 80's and control the market by selling/buying it back and forth a few times for ridiculous amounts of money, falsely driving up the advertised market value and inflating it's prowess.

it is a beautiful example of what so many fortunate people had the joy of owning back in the spring of 1998.

to answer the space-saver spare MPH question, YES you should not exceed the posted maximum speed stamped/molded in to the tire' sidewall. The tire is designed to safely remove you from the immediate situation, and is also stamped TEMPORARY SPARE because it is not intended to be used for anything other than moving the vehicle to the nearest safe location for repair.
the maximum posted speed is directly relevant to heat dissipation. Furthermore, a space-saver spare is not to be used on any other vehicle on which it came originally equipped.-again, relative to heat dissipation.

See, I'm learning so much here... I'd always taken that warning as more of a suggestion then a rule...

But you're saying the next time I have a tire let go, I shouldn't then use the spare to say... get me the 200+ miles back from NYC to Cape Cod... up I-95... at 70-90MPH...

Good to know...

You know, I shouldn't have written a whole long reply to logres.
I learned years ago to never have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
But I will apologize to the readers who had to be subjected to my rant after he personally insulted me.

But hey...it's the internet...it's not the first time. Sorry folks.

Alright I'm done.

Enjoy your message board, since it has become what Cal's board has been for a while now...just a bunch of flame wars.

I've enjoyed all of the friendly members, and I hope that for your sake, it returns to what it once was.

Thank you Sharon, JP, and Bud especially.

Peace...I'm out.

OK, I'm very sorry I didn't see this sooner.

WE DO NOT ENGAGE IN FLAME WARS HERE!

I'm locking this thread. Appropriate action will be taken.
