Question Rouch wants 350Z's?
I got a letter a few days ago from Roush saying they wanted to borrow my car for dyno testing. It said that they would pay me $300, provide a rental car, and return it clean and washed.

Has anyone here heard of this? I thought they only messed with Fords.

You're probably about to sell your car to a chop shop for $300 lol

Why'd you spell Roush wrong in your title, then correctly in the post? Sounds like a scam to me though.

That's why I tossed the letter in the trash.

I realized my error but could not correct the title.

OK, fine. Maybe lame. Maybe a scam. The letter did look official.

Not sure if you're serious. I've been away from my Z quite a bit lately, being away longer was not appealing. Assuming the offer was legitimate, the thought of someone putting my car on a dyno for unknown reasons was not appealing either.

At $15,140 per board game that would be 199 games. You must really like monopoly.
