Niggas are broke these days”. I should have kept my mouth shut but this new owner has his mom buying it and they are driving 3 hours to see it. They seen pictures, car fax, dyno sheet, know the price, and know the mods. ---

> [@1.8tV-Dub](#): > > still just knowing all the time and love you put into it its just gonna get drifted into a wall or smashed into the back of sombody because he thinks driving fast all the time is the shit I have no idea the details. Shit happens all the time and the 3/S stock wide tires and snow don’t mix at all. It might not have been his fault. I do hope the new owner takes care of this car as much as I have and enjoys it as much as I have over the years. It’s been loved/treasured. Anything every went wrong and it was immediately fixed with only the finest parts. Those that have seen it can attest that it’s flawless in and out. ---

> [@Boxersix](#): > > Shawn, dubly good riddance. About time it finds a new home, hopefully a good and respectful one at the least. Hate to see it wrapped up in a bunch somewhere. I wish I had a chance to put it on the dyno with more boost and the meth installed. It hotlapped at 580 at 24.5PSI with _MY_ tuning and no meth. Jays05 was in the car and we did some videos at 33-34PSI and it’s night/day difference. Oh well. Until the next time. 🙂 ---
