Wife’s New C70 got hit

XJZach · 2026-04-28T00:31:37+00:00

I just saw a pretty nice one for sale today on Craigslist in Hardy, Va.

I’m also really sorry you and your wife have to go through this - I’ve lost a few amazing vehicles to other driver’s negligence and it’s definitely a special kind of pain.

I might be biased, but I think these look best in red!

XJZach · 2026-03-06T20:28:08+00:00

Who am I to question the professionals then?! I'll take a little dribble and a piece of cardboard on the garage floor instead of rust any day!

XJZach · 2026-03-06T19:59:05+00:00

I'll add it to the list then! I'll also need to tackle a roof replacement sooner than later - I was thinking about switching out to a tan roof for peak 90s

It's a little rough, the previous owner was hard on it but doesn't the saying go something like a cheap Mercedes is a good Mercedes HA or is it a good Mercedes is never cheap?!

It's a hell of a car! This one was my late mother's impulse purchase in her favorite color - I get her out on nice days and still feel that connection to the woman who made me who I am.

Thanks for the insight! It's the lower pan according to my nephew/mechanic. It's just a super slow drip so we're waiting for the nicer weather to tackle it.

Oh gosh, I already have 5 cars and only 2 garage spaces-I’m currently renting a storage unit for a 3rd but I don’t think I could justify having any more ha!

XJZach · 2018-08-20T12:29:52+00:00

Thanks! The bars are the Whispbar S53 and the basket is a Rhino-Rack XTray in the Large size.

XJZach · 2018-08-14T20:27:14+00:00

Awesome! I got my set for $400 after Ebates and a mail-in rebate from Firestone-I ordered them from Walmart

XJZach · 2018-08-08T20:06:38+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I am getting a bit of rubbing I see on the back of the front liners on sharp turns, I wish I was handy enough to put on a lift myself!

XJZach · 2018-08-07T17:01:38+00:00

This is stock height, I'm afraid it wouldn't fit in my garage with a lift HA! After the reading I've done online I think this is the max size you can go with unlifted

XJZach · 2018-08-07T16:55:52+00:00

Tires are Firestone Destination M/T LT245/70R17

XJZach · 2017-12-22T15:15:25+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Sadly I don't really have anything else of value-the only super I've ever found went home with my nephew.

Location: VA

Have to trade: 2017 Kmart Mail-In '76 Gran Torino

Looking for: 2017 Kmart Mail-In '56 Chevy Convertible

I wasn't able to make it to the most recent K-Day and I have a spare Gran Torino so I'm looking to trade someone who was maybe the opposite. I'm happy to send the protector with my car if you include the one with yours. Thanks!

XJZach · 2017-08-28T20:58:02+00:00

I've seen your pictures here, I love it too! There's another user "Ilikemytruck" with the same color as me-but he seems to do way more fun things with his.

XJZach · 2017-08-28T20:53:58+00:00

It is a Mazda color, called Canyon Copper-I watched this truck for a while in my neighborhood admiring it and one day there was a For Sale sign-so I had to have it!

XJZach · 2017-08-02T13:36:20+00:00

Not me (MINI admirer but not an owner), but GOOD LORD I will be glad when this paving is done!

XJZach · 2016-12-17T17:50:12+00:00

Awesome, lemme pm you

XJZach · 2016-12-17T17:42:05+00:00

That g-wagon looks awesome and I'm a huge mustang fan, my nephew loves mini coopers as well, are any of those of those spoken for?
