probably craigslist is your only bet

i read a while back that there's a tightly controlled used market where wrecking companies who buy every single corvette and disassemble them for parts, since they're common yet niche enough



blk sorry to hear about getting laid off, hope things get better for you soon :(

If it was running at the time, really bad. If it wasn't, not quite as bad. I wouldn't trust any of the wiring harness or ECU or sensors...

...and depending on how long it sat with sewage in there, I wouldn't imagine the transaxle would be any happier.

Yeah the earlier report was incorrect. It isn't like he's awake and healthy though so :shrug:

Re: flood damage
I've always heard that it's the electrical that fucks with off-when-flooded cars. If it was off then was flooded and you plan on making some kart out of it then who cars about the wiring or radio or lights, right?

It was some loon on FB, a site I am using very little since they reinstated me. I actually spend more time pruning old posts and unfriending and unliking than I do posting.

I don't see a stereotypical liberal owning that many guns. Or rental property. Or a hunting license.

... some of that rental property is less than 3 miles from me. :stare:

I had no idea there was a Mesquite NV either... the rental property he owns is in Mesquite TX (which is the next city over from me).

e: huh, his father escaped from a prison in my hometown ages ago. :tinfoil:

Nah, just a dozen or so rifles with a couple set up to bump-fire via a slidefire stock. Hopefully the ATF is going to revise their position on those not being registered items now.

Not really, no. Especially if you compare it to virtually any other gun related forum anywhere on the internet. I'll admit I haven't gone there regularly for a long time but they seem to be a pretty decent group with the odd "colorful" character, but AI and CA has more of those than TFR.

Well, I just learned the value of good tires the hard way. I didn't want to spend 1/3 the value of my car on fresh tires and got into low speed collision with a box truck on wet ground because my car wouldn't stop on its 7 year old ones

Thankfully no injuries, except to the wallet
