  • Offer on my car!

    While I was at Lowes a family drove up -mother, father and young son, and were pointing at my car. The woman was laughing and said that she had told her son it was a TBird and she had always wanted one. He very wisely told her to offer $8 for it. Here I am trying to visualize trillions and this little guy has it all figured out! What a great compliment!

    It's events like this that make you smile! ...being the age of thinking $8 was a great offer is still the age I wish I was sometimes!

        The same type of thinking was going thru my mind too. Lately there have been many instances when a more simplistic and honestly innocent approach to a problem is just a welcome solution.... unfortunately they do not always work out as intended. This does let us get back to the day with a smile and the feeling that we truly do have the ability to enjoy ourselves and appreciate the little things in our world. $8...gets me thinking...I'll take two Merlots! Wishful thinking, but good for a chuckle.

          You've got that right. You've just got to love these cars. I went to a somewhat local cruise night this week for the first time. An older gentleman comes up and says "You've made my day. I've always wanted to see one of these up close." Later on another guy comes by and says "If I had my choice of any car here (must have been around 150 on the lot), this is the one I would take."

            Last week I was visiting someone and we were standing in the driveway next to my car. A Mercedes drives by, stops and backs up and pulls in the driveway. Driver gets out and asks if my car was for sale. Said his wife has always wanted one. He asks me to pop the hood and then just stands there admiring my super clean engine. I told him there were quite a few for sale if he was serious. He got back in his car and drove off and I wondered if he was off to check out cars for sale.

              Can't imagine a Mercedes guy buying a T-Bird. It's just different people.

                Actually Frits, when I bought my '02, I traded in an AMG for it.

                    I've seen many a Benz driver nearly break his/her neck gawking at these cars.

                      I brought my 03 to a local carshow last Saturday.

                      While it did get a good share of tire kickers, no way could it compare to my Galaxie.

                      But, it didn't do bad.

                        One of my other cars is a Mercedes, but it would go before the Bird!

                              LOL, it just occurred to me that two years ago I sold the Mercedes A200 I had next to my Bird. Forgot all about it. Guess the car did not impress me that much.
