Sure, the Spider is nice but you didn't mention you're also selling a Citroen roach (DS21) - there is no cooler car.

I'm buying a convertible version of one soon. An actual factory cabriolet, not a kit car. :)

site? you have your own site? what is it!?!?!

See below. It's for my business. Only a fraction of the cars I have available make it there since a lot sell too quickly for me to put them up.

you might get better response without the So-Fla chromies on there :lol:

He just sold a 2009 Viper ACR though and it was lime green. I think he just likes flashier cars.

Exim-cars.com

Thanks Alain! :tup:

You're buying a DS cabrio? What condition? You don't already have your hands full with the Renault 5 project? Those cabrios are selling for serious cash.

If you do pick it up I think I need to find an excuse to roadtrip down to KY and go for a ride. :lol:

It would stay at the shop I've partnered with in France until I import it. It needs nothing, but it hasn't been driven much in the past year so it will be gone over in France where parts can be found quickly and then brought in. I already have a buyer for it. The R5 is the only car I bought with the hopes of keeping it.

Lol not really, I just never fix it, considering how cheap this is. :D

Anyways, PROGRESSIVE ROCKS!!!!!

I had to pay outta pocket and wait to get reimbursed for getting the 850 towed by statefarm...

Progressive, I just gotta sign saying its my car, and this is where I want it to go. <3 :wub: so glad I dropped statefarm.

Oh wut, anyone used this before

Progressive is blowing my mind on just how awesome they are.

They call the tow truck, they pay the bill, they get the driver to call you when they get there, and they give you a way to track the progress of the tow.

:wub:

Still saving $60 a month, and getting 100 times better service.

last 4 people ive talked to were so nice, with statefarm I wanted to drive to them and kill.

:o the tow truck driver just called me, I need new pants!!!!!!

:wub:

why the fuk didnt I switch sooner.

So I've been riding as much as I can to train for basically 'muscle memory' so every aspect of riding can become second nature as quickly as possible. When I'm about to get run over, I don't want to be consciously thinking "ok clutch in, apply a bit of rear brake, now hard front". Just want it to happen naturally.

Well I've been riding fairly conservatively, recognizing that I'm a noob. But I've gotten things down pretty well, time to have a little fun. Decided to take it up to the redline for the first time on an open bit of road. Second gear, hit red line, clutch in, hit the gear shift down, clutch out, begin coasting. WAIT GEAR SHIFT DOWN?, WTF, NOOOOOOO. Caught it real fast, pulled the clutch back in as those rpm's began to race, but by then the rear tire was already spinning freely, gliding across the pavement. Fortunately, I got everything under control and recovered from a really amateur mistake. But god damn, I can't believe my pants were clean after that one :lol: All the guys who drive stick are probably rolling their eyes, but it's a whole different experience on the bike compared to the car. I feel it's quite a bit more 'involved'.
