I was just messing around looking at the Hawaii Craigslist site and found this supercharged 87 vert. Looks like a pretty good deal to me. Fly over, test drive it, take a nice vacation and ship it back home.

Let's see. Headed up to the Soaring Eagle Casino in your city on Aug 20. If one of their greedy slots finally pay off I just might have to make the trip!

I'd be concerned about who installed the blower on the engine. This is one item that shouldn't be regulated to "amateur night". This is a job I'd make sure was done right. No need for disappointments.

My Son and daughter in law are on there way to Hawaii as I write for their new jobs and will need a new car, but knowing them it will be a Prius or a Honda type of wheels! I need one to use when I go visit, so I can drive a C4 in the winter. But I do Love Michigan. Hopefully get to use my John Deere snowmobile this year and my ski's!!!
