Default Friends don't let friends drive SH*T....or do they?
So one of my friends (another TR member) decided to trade his RX-7. He said that after owning it for 6 months, it was time for a change. Actually, he's been trying to trade it for months....but he's had no luck in the past.

Well, he did it. He traded it. He got himself a 1992 Ford Explorer Sport.

I tried to keep him away from this deal, although not really hard. If only I had pictures....you'd understand. So, am I any less of a friend for NOT stopping him?

Minus the wheels.

Allow me to expand the details:
1992 Ford Explorer Sport
Ford 302 V8
Bagged (and will sit the frame on the ground)
RIGHT HAND DRIVE
Primer black
no side mirrors
no windsheild wipers
no floor in the rear (open to the ground )
no interior
no dash
no speedo
no a/c, or vents, or anyhting like that.

I'm sure there's more...

That is a nice RX7 to trade for that heap. This heap doesn't sound like its daily driver material.

Yes...I know, he's the 3rd Jason to own this truck....but I've known this JAson for 5+ years.

I'll give you a scenario. He replaced spark plugs in his Civic. the car stopped running, and it took him 2 weeks to figure out the spark plugs were incorrectly gapped.

God forbid anything ever breaks on this truck....
