OK, so a friend of mine....

GrandpaGofast · 10-25-2009, 07:45 PM

Has a line on a really sweet 2 in Oregon.
Thing is, he's already got one.
So he's thinking about flying out and driving it back to NC.
He wants me to go w/ him and help drive.
Should I go w/ him and ride/ help drive back ?
I think he has an obsession w/ Mr2s.
I'd like to go, but I think I should counsel him that one sports car is enough.
Opinions ?
Grandpa

If he's flying I'd go, only because I love to fly.

Never can have enough sports cars. If he wants he can park his 2 next to the 6 2's I have just before the RX-7 (but not after the celica) and put his spares next to my rack of corolla parts....don't mix them up with the celica spare parts rack though.

I can also book it in for a wash after I do my cars but he might have to wait a few weeks till there is an opening in my schedule....... I'm not obsessed at all

GrandpaGofast · 10-25-2009, 08:26 PM

So you are a detailer ? "Book it in for a wash" ?
Curious,
Grandpa

GrandpaGofast · 10-25-2009, 08:27 PM

...and more importantly, how do i get her to NZ ?

No I just have too many cars for any single human......good being superhuman and all though makes it easier.

As long as your friend isnt a woman, go for it.

Bad jewjew roadtrippin' with the females in a sportscar, I checked. (at least, with a new one. I plan to check again with a different woman once I get my 2 back on the road...)

GrandpaGofast · 10-25-2009, 09:20 PM

Thanks Como...

perfect time to find out

GrandpaGofast · 10-25-2009, 09:28 PM

OK, so I take the blue pill, mail the car (with myself inside) to NZ,
Get the detail wash, ride around all the mountain roads.
Then, I take the red pill, add Nitrous boost, skip Eastward to Hawaii,
Drive those Mtn roads for awhile, repeat, end up on the west coast
THEN drive east.
Got it. Good plan.
Thanks guys !
