My mom drove by and saw the white paper on the windshield, came right home and called asking if I was selling it. I reassured her I wasn't, and that we'd be going out for dinner and ice cream in it this coming summer. She was relieved, she loves riding in it. People stare when a 93 yr. old woman gets out of a loud obnoxious race car with a license plate (I think she likes the attention!).
    I might sell it for the right price, but it ain't gonna be cheap!
    Give me a $100 and I'll take it off your hands. lol

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I bet you would! I'd bet you couldn't get in and out of it!
    Seriously, it is very small and uncomfortable. The pedals are so close together,
    if you have big feet, you can't drive it. There's no place to rest your foot when
    it's off the clutch. The steering wheel is inches from your chest. The exhaust is
    less than 3 feet from your ear, after 20 min. on the highway, your ears hurt. The
    seat is hard as a rock and not adjustable.

    But there ain't nuthin' like drivin' one

    I guarantee I couldn't get in or out. Hell I had trouble climbing out of the Vette. I'm a truck guy. I like to climb in and fall out. Plus 4 wheeling is a ball.

    On the national news last night they showed Mr. Newman walking out of the hospital holding his little girls' hands. All of a sudden something got in both of our eyes.

    We have come a long ways from the days of watching stockcar racing hoping for bad crashes. I love the sport and some of my fondest memories was driving one I built on dirt tracks. Of course it was nowhere near a NASCAR car.
