Where's Hammond?
Well I'll call him!
Ask him if the car is in your snack bracket. That will tell us for sure.

I always love listings that say "invested $X, but willing to let go for $Y, this is a steal!". You see a ton of them, but this one takes the cake. It's a 2002 Saturn SC2 2 door, mantran coupe, pushing 1.9 liters of fury:

If that's not enough, he made a webpage listing all the sweet mods:

Here are some choice cuts:

I am sure the pictures tell you a lot about it. This car is exclusive - no wonder it was sponsored by Girls Gone Wild for a 2 day period in California - nothing like what you see on the road everyday. Let me tell you why..!

Street racer posted:

I have street raced a lot in my life and so, when I got this, I thought to myself, its got to have something more to it.. So, its got:

* A Performace Exhaust
* A Cold Air Intake
* A Speed Boost on its 3rd Shift :psyduck:
* A speed chip
* Its computer programmed by group of 8 professionals who did this exclusively for my car.

I am not good with money posted:

I bought this car for about $12K and have spent close to $18K just on customizing it..

He's asking $16,000 for it....For a 6 year old plastic car that is currently worth about $4000. I have to hand it to him that he kept the exterior relatively tasteful...but drat son, you spent 30 THOUSAND DOLLARS on a SATURN.

A couple things I hate about that post. First, it's in Kansas City, where I live now; and second, the "car page" is an Iowa State University student page, where I went to school :cry:

Anyway, I read all the stuff he said about it, but I still don't see where all the money went. It's still got hubcaps, for christ's sake.

The price is right on, though, since he says it has $59000 miles. What a deal!

It's a sleeper! That's why it's got hubcaps!

We should have a KC AI meet, except that I'm in Arkansas right now for school. I think there are at least a couple other AIers living in the KC/Lawrence area.

edit: if you read the page, he flew in people from all over the country to work on the sound system and remote start install. And it's got parts from JAPAN!

Obviously a fakepost, but I got a good laugh out of it:
