Default End of the line for "Purple Rain"

Well Most of the old school DSMer's will remember this car. I picked this up for a buddy in the Air Force that got stationed in Italy. Where he then flipped it 3 times and totalled it. I owned this car for about 3 weeks as my DD when I was still in FL. Probably the most solid running 2g I had ever drove. After about 2 weeks it melted the piston in cylinder #3. I joined the Army and was leaving soon so I had nothing to do with it. Damon replaced everything that needed to be done to include the shit ass wiring job for the fusebox which to this day still baffles me. Clean ass car and apparently has(HAD) lot of history in the TBA.

Yes it was Fernando's old car. The car got sent to Italy and was flipped within the 2 weeks he received the car. I had it for a couple weeks before I shipped out to basic. The motor in it he said is perfectly fine, so my guess would be he's shipping it back and parting it. Who knows.
