I did not know MG's were made that well. I would have thought a Schwinn Varsity would just about total a MG.

I had a Schwinn Varsity my freshman year at OSU, which had a sad demise one day as I was on my way to class. I was zipping past a line of cars on the right, in the imaginary "bike-lane" when a MG Midget turned right into a parking lot right in front of me. I flew over his car. All I hit war the radio antenna.
  
My bike, however hit the right rear fender of his car, bending the forks back to where the bike was no longer rideable, and messing the rear quarter of the MG... totally my fault. However, he agreed to "call it even". (Lucky me!)

 
From your description the incident was totally the fault of the MG driver. No wonder he agreed to "call it even".

Well, I have a nice clean '98 Contour sitting in front of the house for sale. Only 90,600 miles, new tires, real nice looking.
 
Only asking $2,295. But, since I like you, 2K cash. Just come to NJ and pick it up.
 
I picked 2 lousy weekends to stick it on "that certain free site". Crappy weather, and the Eagles were playing. Got some interest, but only a couple of low ball offers. Good thing I am not desperate to sell!

We sold the RX300 for our asking price of $7500. I was amazed at how quickly it sold.

I haven't gotten any word recently on my son's attempt to sell the Subaru. I suspect it's even more important now because he lost his part time job and isn't working, so he'll need gas and insurance money for the Mustang.
 
I know he cleaned it up inside and out and I suspect that he, too, is using "that certain free site".
 
Congratulations to those who have sold (or are attempting to sell) their cars.

Are y'all trying to keep craigslist a secret or is there another "certain free site" out there? I don't know anyone using Kiiji or however you spell it.

An X3 to go to school in? You wanna adopt me?
 
Well, It will be nine years old by the time he heads out. It's also pretty safe and it packs less than 200 hp. And that's important; remember, my kid is the one who says, "C'mon Dad, he's not that fast- you can take him!" whenever some punk pulls up beside the MS3 and guns the engine.

I'm probably a year-and-a-half, at least... from having to do this...
 
I figure the car my son will get.. is currently getting the crap beat out of it by some other high school kid... but, even that might be too good for him...

Yo, Steve! That Reynolds 531 Libertas was probably worth more than my Tempest! It was certainly more reliable.
 
The first two years of college I walked and used the campus buses. This was at Rutgers which has a good sized campus.
 
My senior year i had a 62 Chevy panel truck.
 
rb - true enough. I would suspect that even a 9 year old X3 would have more of a cool factor than the Tempest ever had on its best day.

No one could believe a bike could cost $250 back in '71 or so (the Varsity was on the edge at $100). It's probably still a good ride, if it's still in someone's stable. I kept it for 20 some years, and about all that was wrong with it was some brinelling in the bottom bracket.
 
I don't think this guy is for sale:
