My girl is Gray, about 6’5″, and is currently getting the works done to her. She runs great and has so far proven very reliable despite my constant tinkering. She has had a couple of different owners in her past that I don’t know much about except her last one.
It was a teenager whose parents made him sell it because he wasn’t taking care of it and was having the parents do the work instead. Meaning, they sent her to various auto shops for maintenance and repairs, they even had all the receipts as proof. She came with some body damage from what looked like a hit to the passenger rear panel but it didn’t seem bad enough to deter me. I mean I probably overpaid considering I shelled out 6K for her but my mind was set. It was also one of the few in my area that wasn’t partially consumed by rust holes. A win is a win.
Below are two tables, 1) Her specs and 2)the running costs.
