No I’m actually seriously thinking about it. The car is great, but it’s almost useless here. It’d be much better if my cars switched places. I just don’t have any attachment to this car unlike the ae86. When you build a car it means so much more than when you just buy one. So most likely I’ll sell this if the 86 comes out, unless I get really attached to it before then. ---

I bought it over here, then registered it in WA (must be registered where you have insurance, but it never left NY). But I did drive over in my friend’s Altima. No great roads, but it was an awesome cause we stopped a bunch and visited friends at MSU, Ann Arbor Michigan, and Ohio State, went to Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, mt Rushmore and Cedar Point. Hooked I’m doing research with a professor until 6pm. $7.5k with everything, $7k without seat and harness… but don’t start writing checks yet, it’ll depend on if the 86 comes out. ---
