I just signed over the title to the STS car :( I really didn't wanna, but it was time.

Good luck to Seb and Shauna.

Did Seb sell his wheelchair to raise the money?

Congrats Seb and Shauna :thumbup:

Stacey and I are really thrilled to see this great car go to a cool couple and great drivers like Seb and Shauna.

I understand the slight sadness you feel when selling a car - but once you've sold like 38 of them, it doesn't hurt so much... :lol:

And it's always good to see such an awesome car go into such good hands - congrats Seb and Shauna!

Lotsa highs and lows with this one. It's also the car that got me back into this sport after a very long absence. Then there's that sense of unfinished business. Hopefully Seb & Shauna can make it happen.

I had the same thing with one of my Type R's that I sold to a friend... always wanted to win Nats in one of those, never got it done! Unfortunately the car was stolen (yeah big surprise with a Type R) before it had a chance to win in it's new owners' hands!

I don't think you could have chose better new adoptive parents for your "baby" than Seb & Shauna, though!

If they can figure out how to avoid those orange things, and to keep the car pointed generally in the direction of the course, then both can compete for a jacket. :thumbup:

But damn.... Why couldn't you sell the car to some fat slow people?

avoiding those orange things - yeah, I don't have any advice on that! :)

Fat and slow? Paul and I already had the car...

It was a great deal too, you'd be surprised at how much an 8-ball and a few hundred in Spearmint Rhino Bux will buy you these days. :D

Yeah, about 9" worth. :)

And hopefully, they don't figure it out until after Julie and I go on to something else. :P


We just got rid of a Civic, too. I'm sure we didn't get nearly what you did, but then again, we were likely into it for less.

Is there some sort of Civic exodus going on here?!?

I'm just waiting for Tom Berry to head to H-Stock.

Some how, I don't think that cool kid is getting on the bus.

I picked it up from Paul yesterday......he had it cleaned and buffed, I don't think it's looked better since Reagan was in office. :lol:

I will definitely need longer ramps, I'm going to have to buy some 8' aluminum ones. I also need to talk to Mr. Coffey about some mods to the trailer.

I drive the back wheels of the tow vehicle on Kragen ramps. Little bit of a pain, but did WONDERS for the approach angle.

Glad you like it. The pain of letting it go will be softened when we "make it rain" at the Rhino Tuesday night with the envelope of cash you brought for it.
