Why am I killing myself?
Why am I slowly killing myself trying to build my 99 when I could just drop $15K to buy this 91 and be done with it?
He starts with this ad:
Miata, 91 25K in fancy stuff
and follows up with this detailed piece:
Miata 1991, all the bells and whistles, burn rubber at a 100

So I e-mailed the guy telling him that I loved how descriptive he was in his CL ad so much that I was ready to send him a check and fly out to pick it up right away, he responded with: "give me your fax number so I can send you the mods" so of course I had to keep going. I responded to that with "no I already told you that you can consider it sold, I loved how descriptive you were and fell in love with the car at first...read"
Now he's concerned I might be a scammer and wants to wait for the check to clear before I pick the car up. I asked if I could send him a check, fly to his house, and sleep in the car until the check clears, waiting on his reply now

He told me by email that his fax is broken and that I should call for a list of the mods and "I'll read them to you." I declined and wrote back, "All I'm asking is what makes this car so fast -- turbocharger, V8 conversion, etc.?" .... he wrote back to me, "Super turbocharger"... LOL, I didn't waste my time beyond that.
