I was going to post it in the for sale section, but I don't have a photo with my user name and the date or whatever you're supposed to have. if they're still going for under $300, I won't worry about it. I saw SU selling them for $999 and got greedy. I thought I could make an even trade for...
I was just cruising the street unit site and saw that they don't make this anymore. I just had mine out and hooked up today (CEL pesky sonuvagun). If I can get some dough for this thing, I'd gladly let it go... what do they seem to be going for? Is anyone interested? Shoot me a PM if you...
