Dang...it'll be on the for sale section, claiming it's had an easy life, not ever abused, in perfect condition, etc. 
Not the best choice in a rally car, nor the best way to protect an investment...but whatever. It's his POS, not mine.
He can do whatever he wants with it. LOL

Not like the car is in perfect shape to begin with. If he has 300K miles on it, might as well enjoy it however he wants.

Well, back when I was in teens, I had a neighbor who was a "car guy". He had a Corvette when he moved into the neighborhood, which got me stopping and talking to him. He was about 8-9 years older than me, and eventually I got my drivers license, and he asked me if I would like to go on a rally with him. I said sure.
Here's the kicker.....at that point, he had a '66 Shelby GT350, and back then, there were no rally computers, etc. It was simply sharp eyes looking for the clues, and a slide rule and pencil and paper, to calculate speed and time. He was a whiz with the calculations, and got a kick out of that, so he tells me I'm going to be the driver!! At one point, we were on some backwoods dirt road, and he suddenly calculated that we're about 30 seconds behind the "ideal time", so get on it! We're slinging dirt and stones all over, in a rare Shelby....
