New Member here//Looking for a new car//Trading my R1

Whats up guys, I just became a member of this forum, mods sorry if there is a new member section I couldnt find it. I will tell yall a little about myself, I just got out the Marine Corps last october. I was infantry and did two overseas deployments to IRAQ. I am 26 and have owned 2 3rd gen cars, a 84 TA and 92 Camaro. I am trading my 04 R1 for another 3rd gen with low miles. I have looked at a few, I have a nice one to look at today. URL > http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/1902840445.html . I am hoping to get to know some of you, and maybe meet up with a few once I get back on 4 wheels. Thanks guys.

Im in buffalo NY area, just moved here 2 weeks ago from Detroit area, and was stationed in North Carolina in the Marines. Semper Fi

Re: New Member here//Looking for a new car//Trading my R1

price is a little on the high side . any car that has spent time in cold country may/may not have rust problems . go over the underside with a fine tooth comb . any unibody rot is a big red flag . if it is as good as seller claims its still a little on the high side . welcome home from an old A.F. M/sgt. ret. . good luck .

Re: New Member here//Looking for a new car//Trading my R1

watch out for over spinning that old paxton. I say old because it looks to be an SN unit. Prob a SN93 unit. Should be fun as is.

Id have to look up the spec's on it again. head over to
http://www.superchargerhelp.com/ Slow site but some good info.
