You sent me too much money for the book so I threw in a little extra. (a small C4 model car) It was not exactly the color of your car but close. I have a bunch of them.

Oh you do the innocent thing so well! I sent you extra because it was too damn nice of a book to sell for such a price, shipping included. You're too damn generous sometimes so I was trying to do something a little extra for you. But could you have that? Noooooooo! Just try to be nice to some people....... BTW, I like aqua metallic! Thanks Ron, you dirty dog!

Meeting Brandt at Cruise In VIII in Bowling Green and selling the LT4 vert back to him. It was his baby. I am just babysitting it for a year or so. He even UPSd me a belt and hoses to install on her this summer cause she was due.
Now the fun comes in the hunt for the next one! I know it may sound kind of creepy but my wife's stepmother is not long for this world (which at 92 and with dementia is a blessing) and we stand to inherit a nice amount of change. If the wifey is kind then I may be shopping for something quite remarkable sometime in the next year. If the settlement is not too good or the wifey wants to pay me back for all the grief I have given her over the years then I may be taking a step back.

I thought you were going to say you were inheriting a nice vette from your 92 yr old stepmother.
I'm looking forward to your next car search, but I hope you keep the next one!

I was down there in Oklahoma for Christmas and the family decided to give her pristine 2004 ultra low miles Lincoln Town Car to my wife's older sister. Everyone agreed that this was fair as sis has been taking care of her during her final time.

Some people, and their families, just know how to "do the right thing". I like hearing stories like this one. Kind of reminds me that sometimes, not always, that thing about going-around-coming-around, does happen.

Thanks, guys.

Oh and ron? No more snow, please. It's pure ice for a week and barely melting. Maybe next week........

I think after he sells it back to the previous owner, he's going back to the summer-time chauffer job/pool boy routine that get's him a brand-new vette wilst driving for some old ugly hag.
That's what I think.
