RG500 stuck in time

[MAD750]

I see some beat-up car or bike I'd like to have owned new and I think "if only someone had put one away".

Mirror damage while parked. Clearly not left in first gear.

I'd be surprised if he gets $42K for that. After storage and whatever other fees he would have been much further ahead had he just put his money in the S&P500.

I don't see how the odometer could stay at 0.0 miles if it ever got moved around in the garage.

If it gets sold, it will probably be to somebody else who won't ride it. :rolleyes

 

[Blankpage]

If dude is gonna ask a stratospheric price he could at least fix the broken mirror.

The odo is ar .9 about to roll over. Looks like stationary art will never be ridden, needs too much work.

 

[Junkie]

I'd rather see vehicles be used than sit forever. Too bad this will never be ridden.

The museums already have good examples, private collectors too. Yeah, generated lust back in the day but so did my spinster aunt. . . .and she's still a virgin. Any takers?

 

[NeverSayDie]

Oh come on. What the rich won't spend their money on. Give me a break.

I dunno, is she better than two strokes?

Comment of the day. :rofl

I prefer twins with 4 strokes.

Then it wouldn't be 10000000% original.

 

[senpai71]

Has it been regularly started, or has all the oil/gas been left to fester in the sump/tank? Ugh. No thanks (and not just because of the price).

 

[Blankpage]

Wonder if he's willing to write $30K on the bill of sale to save you a few bucks in taxes.
If he gets his price is there capital gains?

Saw a Quadrunner once that had an RG500 engine shoehorned into it. :afm199
