i live near bathurst & hwy 7 depending when, I should be able to come with and help you have a look. I’m not gonna make any guarantees as to being able to tell every single thing that’s potentially wrong or detect every little fucked up thing but I can certainly point you in the right direction. and i prefer scotch (johnnie walker black 200ml) ---

Common signs of drunk driving include any of the following: - Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway. Moving on: Just bring a flashlight and check all the (hidden)problem areas. If its mechanically sound, and structuraly worthy, close the deal. Unlike you, I was way to complaisant. I baught my 240 based on pure emotion running for the first car I could find under 2g’s. I biked 90K to Flamborough, the only way I could avert the deal was if the car wouldnt start. Thers a few places here in the GTA that specialize in structural repair should the auto need any.
