I'd be really interested if I didn't have my 60 to offload. that is a very fun looking build.
 
Will consider trade

Shelby (daughter who drove Cadet) is in school and needs a better car for day to day school driving. We are looking at Rav4 or CRV and would be willing to trade Cadet for this type of vehicle or maybe Matrix, Fit or similar.
Thanks
