Look back at this guy's transactions in ebay and you'll find he bought the car for 9k, now he's listing it with a BIN of twice that. Not to mention he doesn't include the "cool" stuff he got with it. James S. Jetton 1987 300SDL 136k

A friend = had an obnoxiously loud bike (he bought it that way, wasn't trying to say "look = at me") could hear him for about 3/4 of a mile away - he stated that cars stayed away from him, even moving to the other side of their lane as he passed. I know if I rode a bike, I'd want that kind of situation - not being seen usually has disastrous results when you don't have a frame = around you.
