I've seen spare tires on e-bay befure, but not for more than $100 or so. He did say to make an offer... What have you got to lose??manget12008-06-19 02:13:12

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

No. He's not crazy. He's got something someone wants for judging purposes. Two offers already.

I wish I could see the 2 offers made...... Heck this looks like an opportunity for lucky spare holders owning non purist condition cars to make a few future bucks.....

I agree with the question. Does it make that big a difference with judging? Anybody know how many points you would gain with it?
