I am with downward spiral. I know of several isolated, deep, and water filled strip mines within 40 minutes of where I live. I could make both of those cars disappear forever......muhahahah

But seriously Hoffa might be in one of those pits ;-)

I would expect a few new spider gears will be in order if they do very much of it with a stock rear end, but you never know....

The video would most likely be shakey and out of focus when the times show up on the screen
And the time slip no where to be found.

So, is it safe to say Mystery Owner 2 is Rudy?

I think I know who's car it could be and it would not be Rudy's. There are clues in the pictures but you have to look at the right pictures in their gallery and seen the car.There is one thing I know about this persons car that is not clear in the above pictures.
So I can only pick up three clues.
I'll check a bit more, I could be wrong, but it would fit.

No, it's not my car. Yes, I'm twistin' a gut laughing over everyone's speculation of who's it is.

Well I just read every post in this thread while analyzing other members responses and then one member stood out to me by indirectly posting each time the two builders posted. OK I know, but I do work as a profiler for a living My job is to read people So lets see if I am right or

After looking as the post a 2nd time and noticing that the same member I suspected also has the same color car in their Sig!!!

I think I have nailed it now, they have changed their wiper blades and HID ballast from their early pictures I was looking at. I had to go to pictures of the latest mods done to confirm the wipers and HID ballast, which matches perfectly. A part that I wanted to confirm had been polished is still iffy in the pictures but could have been.
I have ten identification points that match now.
They can email me if they want, I'm not telling.
My clues are;
1, HID ballast, identical to Mr Tazz photos, just moved out of the way.
2, Wiper spoilers. (2) different from earlier photos.
3, Trim on heat shield.
4, Catch can. He decided to buy one.
5, 'POWERED BY MERCEDES BENZ' label.
6, Battery, looks like OEM. It isn't.
7, Red terminal cover lifted.
8, Battery label lifting on edge.
9, Wiper arm nuts missing.
10, Heater valves look like they have been polished.
The color is correct too.

Elementary my dear Watson ..... I mean Crazy K. You did it one way and I did it by matching facts.
What does that say about me? On second thoughts, skip that.
I did notice Beaner piped up as well, but only when I suspected him.
He sold the bits and pieces from his car and that among other things tweaked my suspicions.
BlueCoupes post was a good hint that I was on the correct track as well.

Sorry Beaner.

If it counts for anything I like your way of doing things way better than mine
