Re: SY wanted
Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! LOL I'm not trying to be an ass, so I hope this doesn't like it, but...
Why would you want to daily drive a Sy/Ty? Get something nicer, with a good stereo and no interior sqeeks/rattles. I remember reading a thread about a guy who had his Ty hit by a Wal-Mart cart boy. My first thought was WTF is your Ty doing at Wal-Mart? When you daily drive a car, shit happens!! Accidents, fender benders, sliding into the ditch in the winter, door dings, rust, theft, ect. I just don't know why anyone would want to subject a Sy/Ty to that. The only people who know what our trucks are, are the people on this board(well, not really, but you know what I mean.) If you had a brand new Kia, or a Syclone, and you were parked at Wal-Mart, which car do you think is more likely to get a door ding as someone opens their door? The big fat lady looks at the car next to her as she's trying to sqeeze out the door that she parked too close to, and she either see's a "nice new car" or "some old little pickup". If she whips her door open and scratches the truck, big deal, it's just some old little pickup. If the car next to her looks nice, she might at least TRY and avoid some door-to-door contact. You live in the snow belt, all it takes one one slide into the ditch and hit a sign, and rip off/destroy $1k worth of cladding.
You saw my truck at Nats. I love that thing, but it's not the nicest Sy out there. It has some rust, and has 235k miles, and I still won't daily drive it, especially in the winter.
I read stories like that Wal-Mart kid breaking that guys Ty rear corner cladding, and it just blows me away that people would put their truck in the position for that to happen. That one trip to wal-Mart just cost that guy at least $600($500 for a rear corner, plus paint and labor). Even if his insurance covered it, what a paint in the ass. Even for people that only have one car, so they "have to" daily drive their truck. By the time they break one piece of cladding, and the cost of a tow when it breaks down on them, and the money you'd save on fuel ect, you could buy a Neon or Civic or something else to drive, and your truck is safe. My daily is an 04 Grand Cherkoee Limited, and I love it. Don't get me wrong, I do take care of it and want it to stay nice, but if it gets a scratch or dent, oh well. If I go in the ditch and hit something, oh well.
Keep the Sy/Ty's(or any rare car/truck for that matter) safe, and daily drive something that's not unique...

Re: SY wanted
your best bet is to fine one that someone wants to clunker and give them the 4500...But even then that's going to be hard.

Re: SY wanted
I have been talking to him as well. I told him he could keep the extra parts too. Said that someone was supposed to send him a deposit today. I will see if he gets back to me by the weekend.
