I know me and the wife had 3 cars so one had to go. As much as i wanted her to get rid of the one she brought in to the marriage it wouldn't have been right. It had 360 rear wheel HP it was mildly tuned. I sold it to a friend of my brother the guy repainted it then sold it made me really sad. He was afraid to let his wife drive it. The more i type about it the more it is missed i will have another some day. Guess i should have told you it cost us 250 a car to park on campus so 750 a year and people stealing parts off it made it where it had to go.
