OT: '01 wolfie

[verboten1 at gmail.com (Verboten1)]

well i checked it out today.
the engine, is as quiet as can be, no ticking, no funny noises.
Paint, is pretty good, but as to be expected on an 80,000 mile car
interior, friggin immaculate its the black and tan combo that i love oh so
much.

Drove the car for about 15 miles, got it up to 85 MPH, no shakes shimmys or
undulations.
the wheels are clean, all of them, no corrosion at all, BRAND NEW Pirellis
and an extra set of steel wheels with blizzaks.

I made an offer of 8,000 we'll see what happens from here.
