LMFAO, these replies did not disappoint.
Agreed on not waiting. First surgery for posterior labrum reattachment from 6-9 was in 2000, revision surgery done in 2012.
At this point there is stage 4 cartiledge loss, bone on bone, and the little cartiledge that remains, has a layer of fluid between the humeral head and cartiledge so it was explained the cartiledge is peeling off the bone like the layer of an onion. Fun stuff.

The RHD idea to shift with my left hand is a great point B, lol.

I don't think they will let me keep the pieces of bone that is removed, but I will definitely post a (re) build thread for the shoulder haha
 
So I'm finding that I can get a hardtop convertible Benz, for less money, with less miles, than a PRHT Miata.

Anyone have experience with an SLK350? (2005 generation specifically)

I'd really like to avoid German, and stay with Japanese for the reliability.
I wish the SC430 wasn't so ugly.
 
Same engine in the C350 and E350.
balance shaft sprocket or oiling of it or something was a big one if i recall when i was eyeing a c-class years ago, but honestly, by now, it either blew up and is trashed, isn't an issue, or it's been repaired under warranty long ago.

Biggest thing with those cars here up north is that they probably sit/sat a lot, especially a low mileage one.
 
Silver with black s2k, $22,000 116k miles, original clutch, all maint records.
Tempting....

NO TRADES.Selling my mom's s2000 I bought it for her as a gift but she can't really drive manual anymore due to her leg. The car is originally from Florida and has zero rust and a clean title it's a 2 owner car. Has every single maintenance record since 2002. 10/10 vins and all maintenance is up to date i have the compression test numbers and I have all photos of the vins. I can get photos of underneath if needed but the day you come you can see for yourself also. If any questions you can ask she really needs the car gone so it's going to be on here for a short amount of time before I send it to auction. If any questions just message me. Also the previous owner was an older adult who had the car since new and never modified the vehicle the top was replaced with a more durable canvas top and has zero leaks or tears that's the only modification she did.

The clutch is OE, but the clutch master was just changed.
That makes me wonder if there isn't am issue they were trying to fix with a new master.

Let me know how you like the 2018 MX5
I went to CT to buy one in March of this year, but it ended up having rust in the quarter where the bumper met the quarter, which was not disclosed to me.
Damn shame as it was a nice car all around. I would have driven it home that day if not for the rust. Dealer turned into a real Ahole after I decided not to buy it.
 
Link works. Looks the guy knows what he's doing... has a ctr on the track in other pics. I saw it's worth checking out. looks clean.

The 62k model had some systems not ready on OBD2, which is to be expected when the battery went dead. (only oxygen sensor and evap system were not ready yet)
The car had a strong musty smell, and the ECU had a VIN that did not match the rest of the VINs on the car.
The only missing VIN I could find was the front bumper, and there was a fender bender by the current owner in 2021.

The car will be gone before the weekend is over, and possibly before the weekend is here.
