I have not and will not give up on my dream of creating a carfighter... my Y-Wing truck idea was destroyed long ago, but I have other ideas I've been working on. So I've been casualy searching for a base to start with, and I thought I'd found one. I got in there quite early on; lots of emails exchanged with the seller and it felt like it'd be a pretty good deal - but even with me waiting around, refreshing the page every 10 seconds, and sniping at the very end, I still got outbid on this little car! What's worse about it is that it was a relist from an earlier auction where the final bid was only $315 - and the winner never paid! The fool! eBay can be a cruel mistress...

Oh wow, sorry to hear that. One of these days I'm going to make a machine that will electrocute snipers on eBay. The machine is going to know w/in the last Minute of an aution to send a small current thru the keyboard of anyone trying to bid in that last minute. I can be evil sometimes... expecially after just waking up.

...more news on this: the seller emailed me to say that the winning bidder doesn't want it if it doesn't pass smog, so I have a chance at getting it still. But I dont'want it if it doesn't pass smog either... so I guess it worked out to my benefit (saved me a roadtrip and possibly dissapointment). Even better news: a friend of mine has an 86 Accord that looks like this but with a years worth of dust on it that he wants to get rid of. I drove it, needs some engine work, but for only $100 I think I've found my carfighter
