        A very stupid dream last night:

        It was Saturday October 14th at the start of the Devil's drive, about 150 people showed up and over half were lurkers of the 65 year old British roadster demographic (nothing wrong with that, just was unexpected) . Some dude had a megaphone and was ordering people around and told everyone to set off on the drive while I was in the crapper. TJ is with me, we try to catch up, he tells me my route is stupid and will take too long so he suggests a shortcut that sends us to Automotion where its chock full of FR-S bros doing the exact same drive route. The traffic, police, and stupidity were rampant.

        the end.

              Car is 1966, all the sites keep yelling at me about it not being 17 digits long. Not really sure if there is even a way to find the history on the car.

                I have had trouble with VIN numbers on something as new as my 85 Toyota.  I think it had the right number of digits but when registering it at the DMV they couldn't look it up successfully.

                  My del sol doesn't seem to work correctly on that site either. It says no car exists with the vin lol.

                      It's a shame,I suppose I could try to write a letter to them DMV and see if they can dig up something on it

                        Did you try Carfax?

                        I guess if you can't find it, you can proclaim it as your own. Who's gonna know if it can't be looked up???

                          If all goes well I should be back in an e30 sedan this weekend :) 

                          Suspension is all sorts of odd mix-n-matched stuff (Honda springs, Cadillac shocks in the rear), and he said it has a super-eta bottom with a 2.5 head, unknown cam and it has a "lumpy idle" but it looks hella clean rust wise. I figure suspension is easy enough to replace with e30 stuff, and as long as the motor runs I can take care of any issues that arise.
