I put it up on craigslist for trade, and threw a 1500 dollar price for S-n-G's, and someone wanted it for that. I only had 650 bucks in it. Bought a Miata, loved it to death (Some of the greatest driving roads in TX are here in Austin) but that particular one was a bit of a lemon, and I didn't want to sink the future dollars into it. Sold it for 2500, started building the CST10's new 4spd OD trans with the profits, and was offered this GC for 1000 bucks, *****in' deal and when I goto resell it I can double my money quite easily if I can sell it for at least 3000. It's a great truck, and I love it offroad.

For a college student, it's been a healthy way to make money.

What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
