It is a small world after all :)
Today was pretty cool after all, as something pretty cool happened.
Leaving church today I spotted a white 1980-82 C3 at an ice cream store. It was tucked away in the corner of the lot, and only a C3 obsessed nut like most of us would have been able to spot such an awesome looking machine. Stopped by to look at it. It looked very nice, and clean. I went to lunch and headed home. It turned out that I saw it driving around town later after lunch a few times, which was pretty cool.
Well fast forward a few hours to right after dinner. I got on Facebook for the day and clicked the wrong page. But I saw a random C3 page and clicked on it. Not even 30 seconds in, the post on the top of the page was from a guy located in a small town right next to mine. I thought that was cool, but as it turns out; after scrolling through the owner's pictures.....I FOUND IT!
IT was that same white C3 I saw all afternoon long. So I asked the guy if he had been to an ice cream place today and sure enough he told me exactly where he was!
It was pretty exciting to me to have seen that C3 and then randomly find the owner on Facebook by mistake.
What are the odds of that happening?
The owner just bought it in December. I mentioned the CF to him, so if he joins, be sure to give the guy a welcome!
