that looks like a great deal, sunroof, factory alloys, etc. I wonder if the roof carrier comes with it. Someone should snatch it up. I would consider it but no time, no room and pretty much out of "fun" money for such purchases.

It looks like a great car. Maybe a bit of rust coming up in the rear quarters? Hey, but it's got a block heater for the Great White North!

i noticed that too, paul. sounds like a romantic pipe dream that some people like to talk about but few ever actually pull off.

I mean why would you do that? Or is $800 + gas + food + lodging + one way ticket home cheaper than a two way ticket?
