Those of you who did not bet are all LOSERS because I just got it. I drove it around my apartment's parking lot and it DID NOT catch fire. It just goes to show that you CAN buy cars off ebay without even test driving or even seeing them beforehand.
The only thing I can complain about is that the front driveshaft is missing so 4X4 is out of the question until it can be located.
And mew, yes it does have an engine except I can't see it till tomorow morning since the hood refuses to open, but it does exist.
