    If you have a convertible, drive your down & install it at Rig's place & drive back. If that sounds crazy, then you know what Rig was thinking when you asked him to do the exact same thing.

    He was being nice & didn't even factor the math for his return trip gas.

    Face it, he's not shipping & the gas alone for a round trip would be $1200 @ 14 MPG (are converts really that bad?)

    Fly your butt down there & rent a U-haul if you need it so bad, that would be your cheapest way to go.

    It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

        14mpg is what my truck gets- my '92 318iC is not currently on the road- waiting for a new M42, so I don't have an E30 'vert to drive right now.

        None of this takes my time into consideration either- it's just not worth it for me- unless the guy wants to pay me for fuel and expenses, plus something for my time- then you're into the $1500-2000 range just for delivery.....

            i get 20-21 mpg (mixed: highway city) with a 3L stroker, where ever you found 14 is wrong

              READ my post.

              I said that I don't have a cabrio to drive, so I would have to haul it in my TRUCK- a '96 F350 diesel which gets about 14 mpg.........


              What the hell is wrong with you, do you go to State or something?? ;)

                      My guess: Whatever gas costs YOU to drive down here and get it.

                          i just want one so i can make a carbon fiber mold to it, and make at least 4 for me and a few friends, than sell em on a mass money making scale (it costs about 30 bucks materials to make one w/fiberglass, and 130 w/carbon fiber)

                          but really i just want the knock off shape, and will do tiny modifications to one, like remove the need to re-adjust the windows.

                          If you make me a carbon fiber top you can borrow mine for the mold.......maybe. :D
