Careful though, look at those tires. I'm not sure how many miles or 'hours' of use are left in those, and you gotta believe they ain't cheap to replace. Hell, even if you've got the cash to replace them, good luck finding replacements..

I'm not sure what Tetter and Hook Rats are but they seem to love cats.

No idea on the Tetter, but I'm thinking hook rats is a idiot euphamism for niggers. You know. Always stealing those catalytic converters. Or something.

And in context, I would bet a buck to a hundred that Tetter is some sort of wacky alternate racial slut, too. At least that's the vibe I get here.

Oh and I may be king human being of dicksuck hill but I'd totally drive that stupid looking manufacturer-camo Civic. It just looks so stupid, how could you hate it. edit: have to lose the stupid baby poo poo green wheels though

This isn't your normal skyline. This motherfcker is the skyline God would drive if he wasn't busy doing God sh*t like making tsunamis and crap. Its set up to go fast, and go fast sideways. Who doesn't like to get sideway?! Terrorists, thats who. Are you a terrorist? No? Then you need this car.

Handling? This car handles like a junior executive CEO. Go around corners like the devil himself is chasing you, and not give a fck.

Whats that? You like drifting? Well I've got some great god d@mn news for you. This car was a drift project of mine, and the last owner was planning on making it a drift machine too. Interior is for pussies so we got rid of it. Manly as fck. It literally oozes testosterone. So much so that its puddling up in the back.

Seats? this cocks*cker has got two. One for you, and one for the hot @ss broad thats gunna be all upons your dick after you buy this car. You're a girl? Sh*t works both ways. One seat for you, and one seat for that hot @ss dude you've been trying to hook up with for weeks. Deal with it,sh*ts getting serious.

Stereos and AC are for hippies. Fortunately this car has neither. Oh look at me, I like listen to Simon and Garfunkel and think about puppies. F*ck that. The only noises you're gunna be hearing is the ultra manly engine noises coming from this sweet turbocharged, intercooled, 24 valve inline 6. Sh*ts getting real, real f*cking fast.

This car has got a bright orange ebrake handle (b*tches love orange) with a drift button for those super ultra megahellatastic bar room brawler ebrake lockers. F*ck. Yes.

Now, I'll be honest. The wheels are a little lackluster, although everyones gunna be so focused on your super gangster drifting that nobody is going to give a f*ck about your sh*tty stock 16s. Don't worry, I've got you fcking covered. Its like we're in Vietnam and you just got ambushed by Charlie. Don't worry, friend, I've got your fcking back and I blow charlie to kingdom fcking come. For an extra $450 I can throw in some added p*ssy magnets for wheels, just don't come crawling back to me complaining that you're getting TOO much vajayjay. Bright fcking green 18s. Greens not your thing? Super legit silver 18s. Done like dinner.

This car has got 1.5 metric f*ck tons of awesome parts. Bride, Greddy, Brembo, the list doesn't f*cking END. It just keeps going and going, like the energizer bunny on speed.

You like going fast? Ever tried to outrun 24 police cars and 3 helicopters? You need this car. It will go so fcking fast that you may very well go back in time. It happened to me once. Just once, but it was fcking rad. Its like someone took a rocket and opened its mouth and poured steroids down its throat and and threatened to kill its family if it wasn't the fastest motherfcker you've ever driven.

I get it. You're busy, I'm busy, lets not waste time. If you're interested send me a message and I'll get back to you ASAP. You send me a message, I send you one right back. Thats how this works.

I will be very sad but need to sell this one of a kind custom built 1968 BMW 2002 .. Bumpers and tale lights were changed to a newer version, but yes it is a 68. I've had this car for about 12 years and have put about $10700 into it and believe me, take a look at the pictures, im not to thrilled about selling this car especially at this price. Car has a tricked out 12-A Mazda Rotary Engine with about 200 miles since rebuilt, a 5 speed Mazda manual transmition, I also have a 4 speed Mazda Transmition set aside if interested, a 44 IDA Weber Carb that needs to be set properly by yourself or mechanic or replaced in order for it to run properly, electric fan, a stage 2 clutch, new fuel pump and pressure gauge, a Msd 6AL, 2 MSD Blaster 2 Coils, new custom built red and black interior with reclineable Racing Seats, New Black vinyl rag top with sun roof, 15' chrome rims and excellent tires, I also have extra parts that I got from another 68 car in case I need to replace. Car rides great and is in really good conditions. Just needs to get the weber carburator set properly or just replace it with a Holly carb. No rust. Serious inquiries only... Thank you for your interest.

An e28 with over 200k, and still running fine, isn't that extraordinary; but an e60 m5 that survives just as long is gold by itself.
