Your dream actually makes sense. Mine is always about a 90's Jaguar of some sort. I don't lust after Jags at all, and I can't think of anybody I know that owns one. Not really sure what my subconscious is trying to tell me.

You're quoting from what ? I am curious because I sometimes have these weird dreams that I still have some of my first few cars and I am so happy I kept them ... if only dreams car true

we don't all have this?? I owned an enduro motorcycle (enduro meant a street legal dirt bike) I sold it to a friend of mine who never recorded the sale (title was still in my name) About a year later, he sold it to a guy who never finished paying it off. (my friend still had the title, which was still in my name) After harassing the deadbeat for a while, my friend decided to steal "my" motorcycle from the guy who still owed him money.

Every once and a while I still have dreams wondering what happened to that bike.

Imagine if someone like Paul Manafort decided to go out an buy a car like this just before being sentenced, trying to hide the asset in Hawaii

Yeah nice color. Always odd to me to get every option then get cloth.

"During the pre-purchase inspection, the beginnings of cracking at the rear driver-side rear subframe mounting point was discovered and is shown in the gallery below. Several photos are included in the gallery to highlight the condition of the underside, and several additional photos can be viewed on the seller’s online photo album."

If you're buying an E46, aren't your only options "It's been repaired and reinforced" and "it will need to be repaired and reinforced"?

And if it's the former and wasn't done right, it becomes the latter again?
