It's been in SoCal so there hasn't been a lot of moisture to muck it up. Take a look - take lots of pics and share them here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) so sitting outside in the rain , for several weeks or years does not constitute MOISTURE??????????????????????????????????? It all depends on how long it's been sitting outside. With the exception of the last couple of weeks, Southern California has been experiencing record droughts for the past 4-5 years. Not all that much rain, and pretty low humidity between the times it does rain. It's also good to remember that Southern California is basicly a desert environment. If we didn't have the ability to pipe significant amounts of water from Northern Cali, we would look more like Las Vegas than like, well... Southern California. It's not like it's been sitting in a field in Ohio. But I do agree with your basic premise. Since it's not a garaged car, it's quality is totally unknown at this point. And $5200 will buy a lot of 914 in today's economy. Eric |
