Its a 2021 with 2100 miles, so basically brand new with a chunk of money lopped off the top. Should be picking it up tomorrow - ill post some pics when I get it!

In other news, no more s60, and the van is either going to be traded or it's going up for sale. Ill miss it, but consolidating to a TH makes a ton of sense in a ton of ways.
What are the deets ? Why does the 21 being sold
With 2100 miles ? Demo? Repo? How good was the final :dill: ? 15-20k off sticker ?
hahaha, its about 10k off sticker. Someone traded it, no real red flags. This is a super high end diller, their warehouse was about 60% Porsche, rest mercedes and audi performance models (i.e. RS6s, Sq5s, Amg cla45, c63s etc). Guy said (and I believe him) someone simply didnt like it and traded it. Welcome to rich philly shit. They also have a 1938 caddy phaeton I need to grab a picture of, what a neat place. When I make a fuck ton of money, this is the kind of business I want.

:dat: Truthfully I'm just Sofa King Tired of spending money for like zero point. I don't need to :plac: the woman will likely be driving our next SUV so she should.......take a few test drives, but ain't nobody hanging out with :tubeman: and :dillerman: during the VID. Still, that is a right sized, proven platform with a proven powertrain that is sufficiently bad ass without costing stupid money like the SRT/Trackhawk, which also screw up all the offroad point of the GC. And I want to hear about it. You certainly liked yours.
Yep. Comfy AF, and a great size.

Just too rich for my now much cheaper blood.
yeah I yolod hard on this one. My wife didnt cry over it this time, so Ill take it as a win. We are both pretty modest, and its hard to stomach aany big expense.

You find a decent sealer for this? Because everything I read tells me that most will wear out quick and bring that sweet fade back.

I sanded profusely with 400-600-1000, used spraymax 2k clearcoat and polished with meguiars 105/205. These were the trial runs which came out great. The nice pair I still need to sand, clear etc and then I will also put laminx UV clear vinyl on. I wasnt gonna screw those up because first time.

I can do it Saturday early afternoon if it’s loose wheels and tires.

It’s $57/wheel. Let me know if that works and you want to come down to POTML.

And theyre on! Zero fitment issues, so they must have updated their casting or something. Even the axle nuts JUST fit without having to use the deeper dust caps (which they did include too).

Shout out to @fledonfoot for getting me in and out today for the mounting/balancing.Image

A couple of years ago for a region vs region event a guy from north louisiana shows up with a sky that was in Cam. I swear this bitch had 315s square but it was probably some 285s or something. It's been a while but I remember them being wide as shit and cambered like hell for autocross. And the dude dominated.

:pouroneout:

I stupidly want this thing... but really don't have time for something that would inevitably become a project at some point. I wonder if there are any shops around here that do JDM shit.
