    Default I wont be able to drive it and I don't have adequate storage

    I am pursuing a career in the culinary arts. its fancy way of saying that im gonna be, for lack of a better term, a slave for the next few years. I'm gonna be taking a cut in pay too and i don't want the maintenence to fall off. Initially one of my friends was supposed to buy it, as a 3rd car and I would be able to buy it back in a few years but he opted for a new quad instead... oh well. next best thing to someone i know, is someone who i know will take care of it at least...

    I'd be happy to car-sit it for you, in exchange for the use of the Style 5's

    Good luck to you.. where are you going to be studying? CIA up in Hyde Park?

    Default Thanks for the interest in the wheels

    I would rather keep everything together and sell it as a whole package though. If its been a hard sell though I might reconsider. I will keep you posted
