Please someone buy the Imperial before the demo derby guys do. Yes, there's still derbies that allow Imperials. Yes, there's people who would buy a nice one like that just to destroy it. 

I didn’t take the picture just for this article, but I did take the picture. I have several more that I took to use in my failed “Adventures Of The Matchbox Wagoneer” stories that never took off.

I actually took that picture myself. I have a small collection of pictures I made with my Matchbox Wagoneer with the intent of posting one with a short story each time David Tracy would post an article about one of his Wagoneers. He ended up selling one, and the other doesn’t get much attention now, so I’m just using…

Depends how big said professional was.

Are there really that many Z8s for sale at any given time that you’d need to sort anything?

Thanks. I would have loved to have something sportier, but after looking for something around $10K, I was finding nothing but economy cars with 100K miles on them, but then one of these came up in the search. An almost brand new luxury car with 38K miles on it for only $6K? How could I say no? There are the only…

Great suggestion.. and don’t worry about the gas mileage... That $15k savings will provide years and years and years of gas and still come out ahead of a more expensive fuel efficient vehicle.
