Bid closed at $10,000 and the car did not meet the reserve set by the
seller.
Poor color combination chosen for the repaint. It doesn't do the car any
justice. Other issues as well.
Dreams of it being a $30K car are in the mind of the seller, IMHO.

great question Fred. potatoes used to be the primary agricultural product
in RI. Hence the popularity of the "Mr Potato Head" toy.
now all all the potato fields are turf fields
for new houses & even Red Sox Fenway zpark is grown here.
so RI grandkids question -does this make them turf rats?
If conditions are good (no wrecks, no construction) the toll road skyway option
is 10 minutes faster from I65 to downtown. Conditions are rarely good.

Yeah, we figured that out after a 4+ hour trip around the TriState alone from
WI to Indiana on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, 1988. It was a parking lot,
I remember that trip vividly to this day. On the return I went up the Skyway
and through Chicago and was amazed at the time it cut off
I almost always took the Dan Ryan/I-94/I-65 route back to Indiana. The
Skyway/I-90 tolls are expensive but sometimes worth it as it does save time.

This.
Driving the TriState Tollway for the first time was a life-changing experience.
Then I got smart and started using the Kennedy/Dan Ryan/Skyway to transit
Chicago going from WI to IN or vice-versa. The only drawback is driving through
the Southside, but I was always packing when I did.

I've heard of people running E85 and diesel 50/50 in torpedo heaters
when they didn't want to pay for kerosene. I'd consider that a low risk
application for black diesel. It doesn't sound like you have enough to
be worth the effort to clean it unless you already have a fuel polishing
setup.
