Is that poor dude below called a "sheepboy" or "lambboy"?

Spent the last 7 years in Montana, surprisingly few sheep.

Lots of hyper cars though, damn things are everywhere out on the farm.






Funny story... BC drove his Veyron on Goldrush, saw a windmill out on a farm in no-where Montana. Trespassed up to said windmill to get a picture with his Veyron. Bottomed out the Bug, blew out both radiators and had to have it towed back to Cali. I believe he said the radiators were $40k a piece, plus whatever that tow bill was

Parting out will be tricky as the engine is lowered compression so its not as simple as pulling the turbo off a stock long block. The factory transmission mounts are also modified so returning to a stock trans would be an issue.

I think I'd be out more time and money pursuing returning it to stock vs taking a haircut on the parts sold on the car. If it was on a stock trans and stock compression I'd certainly consider it. Parts for these things are dirt cheap that's for sure.

Yep. Pain in the butt. Could probably make some nice cash on the engine and tranny separately but the time to swap and rework mounts would make it a wash.

If you took that same car into their dealership and said "I want $30K trade in value" they would laugh you out of the place.

The fastest way to get rid of this car is to trade your engine setup + cash for someone else's engine/transmission, part out the bolt-on parts, and then sell the car close to stock.

I parted out my BRZ and got about $9000 worth of parts sold and got rid of the car in (mostly) stock form for about $1500 less than what I could've traded it in to Carmax for.

Forgot to mention, smog is an issue if you are trying to sell it anywhere outside of your original state.

If indeed you are a resident of Montana, there's no smog for title transfer.
If you live in Southern California and are trying to sell an out of state vehicle in California, you pass the responsibility of smog check for title transfer to the buyer.

At the end of the day, there's CA title transfer requirements (or any title transfer smog in any state that requires it), so this is important if you are serious about selling the car to prospective buyers. Makes it an easier sell if the buyer doesn't have to jump through hoops like fake companies in no-smog states to mod their cars.
