Dang, someone already did buy it now. Guess I'll just have to take my 100k elsewhere. :bawl:

Huh, he has it up twice - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=601264551

Passwird, maybe you can still get a bid in!

Also, I bet he would rather be remembered as the guy who developed the Doom engine, not Daikatana....

the 87 TR is my DREAM CAR.... no other. Red on black. They normally go for around $55k and they're still dropping slowly... i want to get one before i turn 30... which is in 9 years... :)

Doesn't Testarossa mean "red head"? Like the valve covers are painted red or something like that?


Edit: Typos suck!

the tops of the pistons turn a red color after running a few miles - after that they always stay red. (not red hot, just red)

It hits me everytime I see that car how absolutely beautiful it is. That car and I go way back. My first remote controlled car was a grey Radio Shack Ferarri Testarossa. It is my favorite childhood car after the Lamborghini Countach.

Yes, as that is what bought him that Ferarri.

You can't buy a Ferrari selling Daikatana for $5 with the shelf being almost full everytime I go to Frys. :)
