Welcome in short story of long journey in car guy's world.

Chapter 1: Hi.

I've just decided to move to car guy's paradise - Valo City. Living in Poland wasn't as bad as people used to say, but it was hard to find good racing tracks (and I don't mind travelling all around the world) and the car culture isn't as gentlemanly as I'd want to see it.

After getting all the moving stuff done I though I need something that I can travel from A to B. I've visited some local dealers and I've found out one fact: you can get trashed out AE86s and S13s that aren't even worth towing to your garage or some brand new blingy-dingy premium cars. Whose prices was way too high as for my budget.

I've met some nice people here. Not all of them are car guys - obviously - but live is not all about cars, right? [...] Mike has recently send me link to mysterious eBay ad. Guy called jdmalex wants to sell his *unique* Skyline GTR. 25 grands. No photos or info. Just price and phone.
Time to make a call. Alex a.k.a. jdmalex still has that R33. Nice. I asked if I can come to see it, and he answered no - he's out of USA right now. Job or something. ANYWAY he sent me photos, that he had to put in his ad.


Really. It's a GTR? Where? And the engine. I mean I have nothing against LS engines but this guy sends his LS swapped GTS as GTR. C'mon...

Few day later...

Alex calls - he wants to sell me it.
- 20 grands
- No way man, it's not a GTR in any way, except of badge. M3 badge doesn't make your 320d M...
- It does - Alex laughed in special man way... - OK, so how much would you pay for it.
Ricer kid really wants me to buy his car. Maybe he needs money for better potato camera, Doge wannabe.
- Let me think. Does it have all MOT and stuff up-to-date?
- Yeah, I think so [...]
- How's the engine?
- Running. - Now I know this guy has no idea about his car.
- Anyway, I would really like to check it in person.
- I'm coming back home in two days, so I'll keep you in touch...

Few more days later...

Aaaand it's here! It looks promising - almost rust free and such - someone actually has taken care of it.


Thing that I'm probably going to repair first is that rear bumper. It doesn't look like it's crushed, so I might be able to fix it myself. Oh, and that GTR logo. Gotta to remove it asap.

16750V$ for GTS S1 R33 with LS engine and probably genuine GTR wheels. I don't know is it good price, but I'm feeling like I'm going to enjoy this car real quick. I still need to register it, but it's not a big deal...
