Wish me luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welllll, I'm hopping a ride in the morning with a friend of mine that does transporting vehicles. He going to Austin Tx, and he's dropping me in missouri to pick up a 2001 vert. and 34k miles. Gonna be a long ride back home, but I reeealy hope it's worth it, I think it will be. Been shopping for a long time, and I think I found the right one for me.
btw, I have a 2000 MR2 Spyder up for sale now too.... 25k miles , very nice>>>

Well I got home at 1am, after a 480 mile drive home. The transaction went pretty ok, however there are a few disappointments in the car. Is is not completely as described. There are 2 very small scratches, that have been buffed over, so I know that they knew it was there, also a marker light is out (not a problem at all for me, i can do that) the right headlight motor continues to run (about 15 seconds) after the lights are turned off, the antenna doesn't go up (prolly an issue with the after market radio not wired correctly), accy, socket in the armrest not working, rear tires worn far more than they said, and wheels need to be balanced..... other than that, I am very happy with the car. Will get pics after the wash, sinse the ride home was mostly in the rain
