I have a lead on a 90 240sx for 600 bucks. I havn't seen it yet, but it is a 5 spd with approx 150k miles on it. Runs...passed state inspec/emissions just recentely. The owner buys stuff at my store (older man) so I know what he's done to it recentely in terms of maintaining it which is pretty much everything .
Is there any reason I shouldn't pick this up? I told him not to tell anyone else the asking price (he hadn't even decided to sell it until I asked him about it and he is the one who named the price).

detailing" How not to pull a car out of the snow"?

Keith Duckworth, the founder of Cosworth, passed away yesterday. Info on him can be found on the Cosworth site, http://www.cosworth.com/.

This is probably more interesting to me since due to the Cosworth Sierra, but Cosworth in general had a pretty substantial impact on the world of Motorsport!

Almost feel asleep watching this old Top Gear doing a comparo of a Porsche 924 S and a Rx7

Here will be all the details for the trip. You can post any information you find about it or anything else that would be pertinent.

Tickets
3 day pass (Fri-Sat-Sun): $90
2 day pass (Sat-Sun): $80
1 day pass (Sun): $55

I'll be getting the 3 day pass. I have no idea how fast they'll sell out this year but last year they didn't sell out until April or May I think (maybe later).

Airfare
Last year I flew into Oakland, CA and drove down to my hotel which was about 30 minutes from the airport and an hour from the track. Monterey is about an hour and a half from Oakland, an hour from San Jose, and almost 2 hours from San Francisco. Any one of those airports is going to be cheaper than flying directly into Monterey (by $50-100 or more).

Right now the airfare is around $300, which is about what I paid last year. Search on Sidestep.com, it scours all of the other sites. You might also want to try pricewatch.com. Last time I got my fare from Jetblue (jetblue.com). This year a flight leaving on Thursday and returning that Monday is about $280. I'll probably be flying Jetblue again.

So, you'll want to depart from:
DCA (Washington National)
IAD (Dulles)

And arrive at:
OAK (Oakland)
SFO (San Francisco)
SJC (San Jose)

Accomodations
We could do maybe 3 things.

*Rent a hotel near Monterey
This will cost us about $200-300 per room per night. So we'd be looking at somewhere around $250-$350 total per person. I don't like that option.

*Rent a hotel within 1 hr of Monterey
The closest would be Watsonville, which would cost about $125 a night which would come out to about $125 per person (Thurs-Mon).

*Camp, get a RV
We could rent a 4 person RV for about $125 a night, but we would be right next to the track, rather than having to drive 1 to 2 hours every night.

This could be pretty cool because we could party into the night and we wouldn't have to fight with the looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg lines every night. When I say long, it took over 3 hours to get out of there last time. At least if we have an RV we can party in the meantime. Crack a few beers and watch cars attempting to do a hillclimb up a 45 degree incline to cut onto an access road...

I'll have to call the track to find out where exactly the camping area is and everything. I also have to call some RV rental places.
