That was not expected... And a sad sight to see. My condolences, Walter.

That sucks! You're car will always be memorable to me because it's the first Laguna Blue I ever saw.

I guess I'll have to say that I'm not totally surprised, though I am sort of embarrassed. Just because I said I didn't think anyone would ever buy that car, given your choice of colors and options you set out to try and prove me wrong. I know you've been asking me a lot of questions about the new Mazda CX-5, and while I can provide you with one at my "family employee discount" I assumed you were planning to keep the C7.

I know too, that you have a sort of "guilty fondness" for the Porsche Panamera 4-door, but I'm hoping that you realize they don't come in your preferred choice of blue with red interior.

I suspect you are in mind of a new ZO/6. You do fit the profile for most people buying them, except for the fact you don't have two incomes (unless that hay truck company is paying you off in installments) and probably have no equity yet in Chez Hein.

Whatever you decide to do, my aging and often confused friend, that you will remember that the only people who still like you are driving Corvettes. Some of them - except for at least the two or three who weren't sure about you to begin with - may elect to excommunicate you from the Forum. Oh, wait. If you haven't been banned from the forum yet for some of your trash talk and dirty tricks, (well except for that post you made a couple of years ago about homeless muslims and their goats) I guess we'll still have you around to ridicule. That would make at least 4 of us, plus me, perhaps. very happy. Well, kinda.

So, c'mon, tell us. What's up?

I check out the Park Place link most every day but must admit I did not make the connection. Could their be two Superman cars around here?

Walter did speak to being on the list for a new Z when he ordered Superman. Has the vacancy already been filled?

Are you going to join us for the Texas BBQ tomorrow? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, I plan to be there, Pat, but I'm trying to figure out how to get there without having to pass by the casino. Like Poodle Girl I'm a very weak person and have considerable difficulty overcoming my addictions. Nothing like trying to buy as many full-size custom superhero cars as possible, I am but a mere pensioner and have only my creditors to provide me with life support should I ever drink scotch with you guys at Fred's in Snohomish again. I was doing okay last time until Mark decided to celebrate his retirement. Kinda funny, don't you think, that Mark had to go back to work for 2 days a week until he pays off that bar bill. I love that guy.

Walter, haven't talked to you for awhile, what is going on? Are you upgrading cars or just selling yours and getting out of having a cool car? GLWS.

Well, I haven't seen any response or explanation from Poodle Girl. I figure what might be happening here might be...

The Superman car has been repossesd and turned over to Park Place for disposal.

He's ordered the new car and wants to surprise us with the new Bruce Jenner edition. Did he show up at the GG yesterday?

I think Bruce has moved on. You must be referencing the new Caitlyn Jenner edition.

He was in absentia yesterday and missed some very good BBQ.

I stand corrected. Yes, the Caitlyn Edition. That would be the one with the new larger front bumpers and the wider rear fenders, right?

Kind of gives the whole "Poodle Girl" nickname a whole new dimension.
