My new ride
In a desperate attempt to boost our numbers at the All Mitsu Cookout, I've bought another car.  A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a low mileage 99 3000GT VR4 in Des Moines. Its only got 23,600 miles on it and still feels like a new car. 100% stock. The paint is in better shape than my Stealth and Spyder.
I don't have a lot of pics online yet of it. Last week I took it to the 3/S National Gathering in Indianapolis. Here are a few pics from there:

http://mn3s.org/NG2010/imagepages/image9.html
http://mn3s.org/NG2010/imagepages/image11.html
As a collector, I just couldn't pass up this car.
later,
Curt |

Re: My new ride
Very nice.
How much do they run?
Sometimes i really want one, but the smart side says no.

Pete, are you still working at Goodyear. This 99 VR4 has the clip on wheel weights. I need someone with the magic touch to take them off without scuffing the chrome and balance them with sticky weights. |

If you look on autotrader and search for 99 VR4s they can go for a lot. I got a great deal compared to that.
And yes, now I have a 95 R/T TT, 95 Spyder VR4 and the 99 VR4. |

Re: My new ride
Wait, this thing is cleaner than your stealth and your spyder? How is that even possible??
Congrats on the new ride. It's in excellent hands.
