We're selling the old SAE mini-baja car from last year at school... it's
made out of aluminum tube and has one seat, brakes, and steering. With a 5hp
lawnmower engine and gearbox it could be made to do 60+ mph like it did in
competition last year... It flipped end over end like 8 times and wasn't
damaged nor was the occupant injured. I think they're looking for the scrap
price out of it, somewhere about $500 - $700 IIRC. It only weighs about 100
pounds.
