Maybe not crack, but at least some low end prescription drugs. Trying to recoup 1/2 of his $9K in mods, plus a $2K car. Seems like a reasonable (but upper end) starting point, but I can't see it selling for $5K unless he is lucky and maybe in the spring. He will have to part out if he wants to hit $5k now.

But in case you still want to see it...1990 Mazda Miata A-Package.

black, with some chipping. (were painted quickly) Car was in a minor accident in October of
2007, hit on the drivers side front. Exterior panels have been replaced, but damage is still present
under those exterior panels. Car chassis is straight, drives straight and looks good. Interior is
immaculate, except for a slightly worn drivers seat, carpet and crank in the dash. Air conditioning

"about 100,000 on recently refreshed and installed 1.6 Long nose crank engine."
100,000 miles is a RECENTLY refreshed motor?? Put down, the crack pipe.
Oh, on a personal note.. I really want to punch anyone in the face that uses the word "immaculate" to describe a car. I don't give a **** how well cared for the car is NO ******* USED CAR CAN EVER PHYSICALLY BE IMMACULATE!!
Hey, Dumbfuck... Your car, by dictionary definition IS NOT ******* IMMACULATE! DOUCHE!
