...how easily mounty71 forgets the cost of the camping fine...he got a ticket for it...

im seriously hoping the explorer will be done by then lol. It might be in pieces in Brandons driveway though so that would put a damper on going.

I sold it for 2500 way less than it was worth and about 500 less than I put into it.

The car in my avatar is how mine will look when I am done with it.

I have some pics of it I will send you.

What was your reason for selling it, if i may ask? Weren't you looking for a fullsize for the move, and don't you have a supra still?

I have liquidated almost everything I own. So I don't need anything that big anymore. I also can't afford to drive the Jeep cross country at 11mpg. I still have the supra but it is getting sold. I can do more with the 240sx. Easier to get after market parts and also gets better gas milage.
