    I don't know if that counts. We'll have to wait for the official ruling.

    Judges rule that no sale took place as the contract was nullified. To set a new record you will need to actually sell the vehicle to a 3rd party not privy to the original sale.

    I think my personal best is the '87 Mustang I owned for about 24 hours. I bought it on a Sunday, drove it to work on Monday, one of the guys in the warehouse drove it home, and I made a quick $300.

    Ken,
    I sat in one at the BMW event, it was kind of tight. Now I am only 5'10" and you are what, 6'1" or 6'2"? I guess BMW could take out the driver's seat and you would have the back seat....

    Ken you should drive a boost buggy Lots of head room, but those large of ass might be a bit uncomfortable in the new X (the VIII/IX have bigger ass area and are lighter).

    VIII's are around 14-18k now. Upgrades aren't Miata cheap, but you're not saddled with a 110hp engine to begin with.

    Nobody here feels "saddled" thank you very much.

    I didn't say it was faster than a Miata either

    Probably damage to the roof that would not allow his head to fit with a helmet.

    Hit to the front. Bumper was sprayed but not replaced. Could have been other damage under the skin.

    Hmmmm that'ss kinda odd. Wonder if it was damaged in transport at some point....... or if someone had a fender bender. Surprising the dealership hadn't noticed it.
