Sorry about the sticker color Roger. I almost didn't go with amber because you're right, it could clash with some paint colors, but in the end it is a traction control light and it just seemed like it should be amber.

I like it amber!! Right color for the warning signal!

Let's be real here...I've spent money on much more worthless things!

So using your logic, I shouldn't buy a wallet? LOL

You sir are correct. That is why I depend on the few McGyver skills I learned while with your dad a few years ago. In that brief time, he taught me so much!

I make my own wallets our of duct tape (only scrap pieces, found on the street), dryer lint, and a small amount of used motor oil (must be 10W40). Combining these elements in perfect balance creates a synthetic leather that to most consumers looks and feels just like real leather. I even sew the leather together to make my own wallet with sharpened chicken bones as needles and spun drier lint as thread.

I figured being his son, you would have already known this. Tell me he at least taught you how to make your own replacement car parts.

Considering selling the Cobra if anyone is interested $38k.

Or trade for Lotus Elise with cash, Exige or Cayman S straight up.

Say it isn't so Josh! 2 of 3 of your choices are awesome but I suggest getting an Exige 220S. Sure there's the 240/260 but those will be a bit more money, especially the later as they're even more rare. Just to give you an idea of what they can cost, we had an 05 Elise w/ under 10k on it back in 2009 and wanted $29k for it, absolutely perfect condition and was never at the track, imagine that. It was a N/A one with 190 hp but remember, it weighs 1975 lbs. Not sure what the Exige goes for but check out my old job's website here

That's a nice one but this is waaaaaaaaaaay better IMO:

The series I weighs 500 lbs less than the Elise and is alot smaller, even compared to the Elise, trust me, the series I is THE one to get, check out the mileage on it too, crazy! The series I has the Rover engine, so its even more British!

Now if you've got the extra money Josh and really want something rare and crazy, this is the one to get! We had ONE when I worked there, just looks crazy!

I know they deliver cars to you, whether its driven or trailered down to you, check em' out!
 
Just got the Tiguan back from the dealer with the new tune and this car is a BEAST. I have enough power to slightly break traction from a roll in second gear. This little crossover is a sleeper!

Well Josh, if the guy in Michigan buys the Daytona, just head up I-75 to Auto Europe and pick up one of those Elise's ( I suggest the series I)
