Re: How to value a 'free car'

Why not paint it like some famous Chevy racecar to piss off GM guys worldwide?

Something like:

or:

or:

Either way, cool chin spoiler, may it last more than 5 laps... big_smile

Re: How to value a 'free car'

The front spoiler is a rear wing off a wrecked Porsche GT3!!

The guy that wrecked it gave to me a couple years ago.

Drool.  That makes your car 1/1000 GT3, and therefore cool.

Man, I love that car.  Please tell me it says GT3 on it somewhere?  If not, it needs the badge... big_smile

Re: How to value a 'free car'

The Tron outfits rock!  Wish the car was painted more light cycle like.  You sir are doing better.

Back to the original post topic, I was given a vehicle to race and I had planned to take some pics as it sits and put it on eBay with a reserve. Whatever the auction ends at is what I value it at, I would document the auction and put it in my portfolio for inspection. Sound acceptable?

Sure, just make sure and post the link to the auction while it is still going to the forum here.  That way all the teams can watch out for cheating...

Re: How to value a 'free car'

Testing at Reno-Fernley  this weekend.

Had what would been race ending problems.
Early on I lost battery charging.
Chased it down all day. Replaced the alternator with a new one from Reno.

Turned out to be the battery kill switch.
The charging circuit was broken.

After getting back on track for two sessions I blew the transmission again.
