My problem is that I would have to waste a whole day and a tank of gas (roughly $40) to find one, and would likely come up empty. Tried to see if I could snipe one off eBay for cheap and the only two listed are $90 & $100. :yuck:

There is now one at a starting bid of $29 and another at $19. Still not cheap though.
 
Doubt they will stay there. I'll just wait it out, when things calm down and people lose interest I might find some pour soul that lists one without knowing what it is. :P
 
An Alfa for today:

So the red Auburn I got might be a great deal. South Texas diecast lists this at $30.00 loose.

Unpainted Malaysian base. It's $125.00 carded. Never mind it has the wrong rims.
 
I've picked up one of those Greenlight Focus ST's several times, then put them back. Just can't get over a few details that make it look goofy.
 
So I worked 53 hours again this week, and think I can spare a few bucks to start getting either some Carney cases or some of these. Just trying to decide what I want, and if I even want to spend the money. :lol:
 
Long post ahead. Here are the cars I have purchased over the last week or two. First are some store brought cars.

Noup. You car is probably the most common of the Auburns, with wide whitewall tires. The rare one has blackwalls. Sorry.

Also, pretty damn epic page people. I llove them utility vehicles @a6m5!
