That’s a long way to ship from NE America, but hey if you wanna buy it my company is probably looking to unload it for the right price.

NE America? New York by any chance?

Close, Rhode Island.

Nah, you ought to fix that Detroit Diesel up and engine-swap it into something. Preferably something no one would expect.

Or at least, whoever gets it should make something cool with it.

Civic…?

Prius? :joy:

Everyone expects the Civic and Prius, though. Tesla’s a good choice, though a pain in the ass, I’m sure. Nah, I was thinking a nice two-stroke Diesel V8 in a Volkswagen.

(Too Soon? Maybe. But it’s still funny.)
