On further study, the wrong bits of candidate 1 are pretty easy to address. Got a call he got the starter installed and running fine. He is bringing it to a point halfway so I can either like it a lot and buy it, or send him home with 2 cars. I’m hoping to meet him halfway on the dry rotted tires (about 500) and if I like how it drives, I’ll be sportin’ new wheels before the day is done. Long term test run will have already been done for me. When I looked underneath, it really did resemble a big Miata. I’m going in anticipating a bigger, way more powerful Miata.
