howie, you do know that you dont have to reply after each post, let the refresh button relax a bit.
Looks pretty clean from the pics. Best of luck with it. But i would watch what you say about beating people in races with that, we all know what happens to Mustangs that shoot off their mouths on forums (reference: Tcstangs vs dsmstyle couple years ago)

Sweet car! I like the hard tops more.. But other it is still a bad ass car!

Onefast99gsx · 05-15-2006

Nice clean car!

I bought my old '97 GS-T thru ebay. I was living in Burnsville at the time and the seller was from San Francisco. I never went to look at the car at all beforehand. I only had about 20 pics. We exchanged several phone conversations prior to flying out there and I established a trust in his word. I flew myself & a buddy out there. Other than gas'n up and fast food stops, we drove it back to Minnesota in 34 hours nonstop. I don't think I could ever do that again. It's the excitement of getting something new & sharp looking that gave me the push to get home. Saw some beautiful country! My 2nd DSM ('99 GSX), I bought from eastern Indiana, without looking at it also(other than pics). I couldn't have gotten anymore lucky on that deal. One of the cleanest 2g's you'll ever find.

Thats a sweet car Howie btw.

My son (2 years old) like’s the car, I explained to him that it was a Ford, but he didn’t care... O.K. I like it as well.

Nice! I know several people who have bought nice cars off of ebay (supercharged vette etc..)and loved them. Good luck with it, it looks beautiful!
only question is if he didn't race it or drive it hard then why did he put race tires on it?
other then that it looks great!

I guess the converts have some different springs in the rear, so the car won't twist as much, these spring can cause more wheel hop, the drag tires help with wheel hop.

This is what I was told, not 100% sure if it's true. Bottomline I have a full inspection WITH a leakdown test schedule before the actual sale.

If everything checks out I'm then going to get 3M's PPF professionaly installed on the front end to protect it from rock chips for the 1600 mile trip back.

Again, Thanks for all of the the kind comments guys, I hope it all works out!

Check this out Howie. A kid on MNSC is selling that 3M shit for cheap. I am not sure how much it is to have installed but you could probably buy this, put it on yourself, and save some money.

Like you said, it is for the ride home so who really cares if you dont get it on perfect.
