Thread: Talk some sense to me

  1. #1

    Talk some sense to me

    Today I did something very bad - I seriously considered putting my freshly completed Hot Rod 911 up for sale.

    Having recently acquired a 72 T shell, it doesn't seem like such a crazy idea to let my car go.

    Maybe it's the thrill of the chase, maybe it's a case of the grass being greener on the other side, but I just can't help myself - especially when there is so much to be gained financially.

    I dunno ... I'm just talking crazy.

    I think this happens to everyone after they return from Treffen. Give it a few weeks, it'll go away

    Curt and Bob, it was a PLEASURE meeting you - it's nice to put a face with a name. Curt, I owe you beers ... lots of 'em.

    Curtis - I'm sorry, but my tennis balls are already spoken for.

    Stacy - W****** ... HA!!! Coincidence reigns on the S Registry forums!

    Wolf - Maybe it's time we let everyone know about the "Treffen transaction." You can make the check out to Marco Ge....

    So Kiddo here's a deal...

    You and that car of yours have the potential to drive around me ... and then stay there.
    I figure once you can do THAT, you can do what the hell you want with the car ....OK ?

    It's your hot rod, you built it, you should keep it until you think someone else could drive it faster then you.....
