sell it to him.
add up the original cost + wheels & safaris & shifter + time and cost of shipping it home and tell him that if he can come up with the cash, it's his.
the guy is leaving for iraq.. if he makes it back then think about selling it to him
imho, that's really not a very appropriate thing to say.
the guy is going to fight in a war. i'm not going to go into detail about the politics and beliefs and what not of that situation, but the bottom line is...he is leaving his life and his family and going to enter a hostile situation and put his life on the line so that others may continue to exist in this beautifull world.
i'm sure most of us know of someone who has been there and done that at some point.
that's not the only reason, but it is a big one.
also, it's only a dc. yes it's orange and louvered and lowered and cool, but it's only a car and you havent had it for that long and you didnt build it.
now, dont get me wrong shane. you're an outstanding man with a heart of gold and an extremely positive attitude. so regardless of what your final decision may be, your still top notch in my books.
it's a tough call all around.
that's just my opinion on the matter.
