Sand rail / dune buggy, anyone?

I'm tempted...I haven't even started my bike since the MR2 has been running properly, so I'm tempted to see if he'd trade. I know nothing about VW's, though.

As long as you don't plan on jumping or going up large dunes you'll have fun with it.

My wife's uncle builds motors for these:

Heh I've seen those...damn things cost more than my CTS-V and MR2 combined.

Yeah, definitely not cheap. A hell of a lot of fun though.

Oh I bet. If I got one like I found on CL, I'd make it street legal and use it to run around town with, and bomb around on some of the service roads out in the desert..nothing too crazy.

I called and he isn't looking for a motorcycle, so that's out - he did say he was flexible on the price, but I don't know what they're worth. It's also not titled, which could complicate things.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how that works since its a home-built thing. But I know it can't be all that difficult since there's tons of vehicles out there just like it.
