    You have some good areas where you are located. Going slow allowing the suspension to travel properly, you wont be bottoming anything out.

    Best way to locate is Google maps or take a trail ride with a member.

    See crank. See crank walk. Walk crank, walk.

    Sorry, had to.

    I always liked DSMs. A friend from freshman year had a 1G Talon TSI and there was a long time there I wanted one. They used to clean up at the Seekonk Spectator Drags. I just remember they had a reputation for breaking often and expensively. I often get the urge to go back into the import car world, but the general crowd and myself aren't really compatible anymore, I don't think. I'll be searching classifieds and get skeeved out with the ads, or I'll be banging my head against a wall reading it.

    Case in point:

    1990 300ZX

    What does the car you buy actually look like? Is it white, is it yellow? Does it have an interior? These all all things which we don't actually know.

    There's a 300zx down the street from me with what appears to be a Ferrari challenge rear end. Actually looks pretty good but the rest not so much

    Alright guys I need some help.

    I am 99% sure I am going to get rid of my polaris ranger (which includes tracks and extra wheels). I listed it on CL for 13.5 which is sorta cheap with everything it has, but new improved ones are 13.5 before any deals...so it is what it is. I don't use it a ton 48 hours and like 700 miles or something. 4 wheeler and snowmobile are a better combo for what I want to do I have found...obviously I have found it out a little late.

    I have been getting a lot of hits though, and a few from serious guys and there are a few different options and I'm not sure what direction to take.

    1) Sell it for cash, got a few offers, basically around 13k cash and can move within a week.

    2) Sell the tracks separately for a decent loss, then sell the ranger separate from that, end up with maybe 14k, have to change some things around which is time I guess.

    3) Got a guy who has a 2018 Can-Am outlander 1000R with 120 miles on it and a plow, want's to do a straight trade. He's at a similar all in as me, minus a few thousand, but his is newer and a bit cleaner.

    Anyways, any ideas, tips or suggestions would be good.

    I came aross that DB when I was looking for Zs. I posted a WTB and he kept commenting how I wouldn’t be able to find one etc etc while shilling his pos for like 5k. At one point I saw it for sale for like $1,000 which was almost WTF money but with two vehicles already I wasn’t gonna push my luck.

    I have plenty of uses, but if the machine isn't right I won't use it, and that's what is happening with the Ranger. It's starting to be one of those things you look at and have bad feelings about..

    Something smaller and more nimble that can still tow similar amounts would be perfect. The clean trade is tempting...but cash is always good.:annoyed:

    I hear that.

    A small tractor would serve me better.
    And so would a RZR

    And this is why I dont go toy hunting alone......
