It gave me decent chuckle to start off my day.

No joke? I hear that the Renesis in that movie was quite an interesting one.

Unfortunately due to design flaws, it wore out pretty quick. Noticably fast. Didn't even make it all the way through the movie. They have to get a replacement Renesis for the next movie. It looked alot like the first one.

I hope he sells it for that much... I'd be happy to know that my car is worth thousands more than I thought...

I'm basically right on 50k. I'd be happy to sell my car for 14-15k with all the stuff I have on it. Based on that listing though, I should be able to sell for 17-18k at least lol.

edit: maybe pricing is different in hawaii? I honestly dont know... but I could see why it might vary a bit compared to mainland US.

Should've known that the Renesis wasn't up to par. Tsk tsk* Maybe they should bring back the Nemesis.
