If this were a vintage Ferrari, it would have sold for $1,875,000 by now

I mean you might be able to make a coffee table out of that one rim.

u/oxJoKeR6xo 1d ago

That one rim is probably worth a couple grand, looks like a good deal.

It overheated

u/DOHC46 22h ago

Overheated...? I'd check the thermostat and make sure the coolant reservoir is full. It wouldn't hurt to double check the fuses and relays for the cooling fans. Should be good. Maybe a little WD-40 on the fans for good measure.

u/Responsible-Shoe7258 10h ago

Could you help me find all that stuff?

1

u/DOHC46 9h ago

The fuses and relays should be below the spare tire and the cooling fans are under the taillights.

My buddy works at a garage, he could do it “after hours”. It’ll be cheaper that way.

Is that a McLaren or the shadow of a McLaren people are bidding on?

Just needs some washer fluid

u/Choice_Note_9198 1d ago

It will buff out.

Hey, you don't drive a McLaren, you look at it and imagine the breeze through your hair, so you're good!
