FS: 2006 MX5 Salvage Title |

Hey Y'all! A friend of mine asked if I could help sell his wife's car, and you will see why this is the first place I thought of. It's a 2006 MX5 Grand Touring with 54k miles. It was a low-flood car years ago, so has a salvage title. Also, the HVAC fan is not working, but the heat and AC function. There is a small leak in the roof that makes itself apparent in heavy rain. Other than that, seems to be a good running car. I think he would take something in the $5,200 range. Thoughts? Is it listed at the right price? I figured if KBB says $8-9k, then $5-6k with a salvage title is right.
Here is a link to the FB ad.

I'm looking for (like probably the rest of planet earth) a on-the-cheap-side 4x4.
I've got some time, but I figure someone here might come across SOMETHING.
So if I had to pick something out of the ether I'd want like, an 88 F150 with the 300 sixer and an automatic. But, like, a comanche would be ok too, or a k1500, or like MAYBE a d150 but I know next to nothing about mopar stuff.
I'd also totally dig a Nissan hardbody (returning to my K roots) but doubt I would want to pay the Toyota tax so wouldn't bother there.
If y'all could let me know what you find, I'd appreciate it.

Best Driving Roads in Virginia / states around. |

IDK if this will gain traction, or if it's already on the forums (I searched with no results) but I wanted to get a list going of the best driving roads ("touge" and cruising) all over Virginia and the surrounding areas.
I wanted to share my top picks if anyone was in the area (living / passing thru). I live in McLean, Va (NoVa) and I've got a few nice hilly roads if you wanna try bringing out the inner-rally driver in you.
1) Kirby Road, McLean. Kirby Road starts (my perspective) when Idylwood Rd turns into Kirby, and ends at the intersection of Kirby and 123. Going towards 123 is fun but not as challenging as the run towards Idylwood. My favorite part is going towards Idylwood when there are two blind right-handers in sequence.
-MAJOR PRO: speed limit is 35 when it should be 25 so take advantage of it.
-MINOR CON: There is one corner where it is a left hander (to 123) that is off cant (left hander with the inside of the corner raised) and then a protruding barrier you MUST avoid (can be seen in video when I pass the black car going around the corner).
Video of me and my Teggy running Kirby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLeJQ13DgNc&t=5s
2) River Bend Road, Great Falls. This one is tricky... When you turn right onto River Bend from Georgetown Pike, you have probably a mile(?) before you hit your first stop sign. You can either go left or straight (right = dead-end). Left is cool but straight is cooler. I like this road cuz it's super hilly and some of the hills you could get air if you have the balls and money to repair what you break on impact.
-MINOR CON: Gotta know the road before going fast.
-MAJOR PRO: Super fun.
3) Georgetown Pike (westward), Fairfax County (multiple towns). For this I am talking about the stretch from the Beltway to Old Dominion Road. This section is around 4 miles of twist and straight roads all mixed together.
-MAJOR CON: always filled with traffic (very nice people going the speed limit).
-MINOR CON: one or two deceiving corners where it tightens up much quicker than what it looks like from the start.

It's been nine years since I was on track, except one 24 hours of LeMons at CMP about six years ago. Despite about 150 track days, I've never driven anything with more than 200 hp on a track and I've never driven anything with more than 350 hp evaR. At 661 hp, I haven't felt anything this scary fast since first fully opening the throttle on my Duc 848. This was also my first time on any track west of Mid-Ohio, even though this one is less than an hour from my house. Everything was rusty and most of my lines show it
If I'm honest, I haven't felt this alive in a long time. I forgot how great it was to be on track... especially when you don't have to do any of the prep. lulz. It makes me want to prep the 911 for a couple auto-x sessions a year. I know it won't be the same as this, but that feeling when you hit a line correctly is pretty addictive.
The car itself was pretty awesome. The gearbox was way better than I expected, except one time when it got confused when I mashed it on an uphill section. We were supposed to have it on Wet mode because a small shower passed right before I got it, however the instructor had me run it in Sport. I'm a pretty big guy, so I was kinda amazed I fit so well in this car. It was waaaay more comfortable than I expected. My only real complaint was lateral support with the stock three-point belts. If I had a spare $300 grand, I might consider buying one of these.
They made a giant deal of me clipping an apex cone on lap 4 or 5. The instructor was cool about it, but there was an inspection and copying of in-car video for investigation. They apparently charge $200 to "inspect the car" and also any repairs. It seems draconian, although I guess that's how they make sure these cars stay in working order. Anyway, they didn't charge me anything. My instructor, who was a pretty cool guy, told me he advocated for no charge because that one come was farther into the track than the others. Might be BS, but he declined me tipping him, so I trust him.

Lol, who didn't see this coming? I don't commute anymore and probably won't again any time soon. This car is kind of pointless now and I'd like to get back into another BMW, and if I have a payment on something, I'd like it to be something I REALLY want.

WBAAG3301D9002979
Listed at 4k. MM price much lower.
1983 BMW e21 320i
M10b18
KE-Jetronic Fuel Injection
99,XXX miles
Absolutely immaculate body. 0 Rust anywhere. Zero Rust. No Rust. Nada. Zip. Zilcho. NO RUST
Paint is very good as well, just needs a polish
5 SPEED OVERDRIVE MANUAL (If you know, you know)
AC, sunroof, fully loaded car for the most part
Freshly serviced KE-Jetronic fuel system. New in tank pump, filter, new external pump, fuel accumulator cleaned, injectors and injector lines cleaned.
New air filter
New rotor, cap, plug wires, belts included. Will install if I get time before sale.
Radio powers on, all electronics I have checked work
Speakers do not produce sound
New clutch master and slave cylinder
The bad:
Sunroof cable has some spots that are stripped. Sunroof is closed, but not pushed up.
Seats are tattered. I have some 2002 seats to go in it.
Tires on the 13 inch wheels are not safe to drive on (New tires on order)
Classic e21/e10 hazard switch problem
There's lots more to talk about, but in summary, it's an extremely clean chassis e21 with low mileage that runs. Needs a bit more work to be BringATrailer quality, but then it's optioned correctly to be worth a decent chunk of change. If you know e21s, you know this is a good car, just needs some love (that I wish I could give it)
P.S. Will accept trades of M50b25tu + Cash
Located in Tysons Corner, VA.

Hey what's up guys I am John from McLean Va, and I am an engineering major at Madison. I drive a 2001 Acura Integra LS with an interest in JDM. A dream car of mine is an R32 that could push 1000+. I am not an expert by any means but I love being around cars and I love the smell of gas. I want to learn the ins and outs of the cars that interest me. I would love to track the teggy, but would also love to build another car for racing. On the xbox I mainly drift on Forza Horizon 4 with some Modern Warfare mixed in there.
hmu on Insta @jwill_458
Xbox @York Reflex
My dream job is to work on an F1 team so I will be looking into getting some type of experience in the racing industry.
