Jorge,
Well, what are you looking for? You did not say what kind of a car
you want for him. This is the Spridget list. You don't possibly think
any of us would give up a Sprite of Midget to someone that treats cars
like that do you? You don't even say where you are. Heck I would even
sell my 89 Nissan Sentra cheap if you lived in the Southern California
area. Nobody cares if he melts the pistons on a old Japanese car.
Mike MacLean
60 Sprite
56 BN2
02 FLSTS
00 F-150
89 Nissan Sentra (Yuck!)
