Hey, Luke,
Nice Garage!! NICE CAR!!! Great story! Yep: they're gorgeous cars!!! And yep: I'd yank the sound system, too. You've already got a big woofer on each side! I had to wait from the beginning of January until mid-March for the first real ride in my car. Every now and then, when the roads were dry and the temps in the high 30's-low 40's, I'd sneak it out for five minutes or so on the road in front of the storage garage where I kept it last winter, but with no plates I figured it would be a real cop magnet. Meantime I'd just go visit it every few days or so and sit in it and go, "RRRRRRRMM RRRRMMMMMM"! It was so exciting to just look at it and sit in it but even more so to put the plates on and be able to drive it anytime and anywhere I wanted! Congratulations! Lowell |
Your garage looks better than the rooms in most people's houses. Your car looks like a museum piece. I am impressed. Congradulations.

Whoa!! I first read that to say you were high bidder at $150.00!! I was thinking, "You bastage!! :) " I figured it out after wondering why no one else was excited. Heh. Nice find and beautiful car! R. |
Beautiful car....beautiful color. Of course, I'm partial to red. :D
ENJOY!!! -Deano |

If the high bidder is below the DEA minimum number (which I was by a $1000 or so), they will offer to the high bidder (me in this case) the "option" to purchase the asset at their pre-established minimum. If the high bidder does not accept this offer, then the asset goes back into another auction pool........I accepted their proposal....in about 3 seconds...actually about 1 second.... :( (the phone call one hour after the bids closed)...."Mr. Luke...we have bad news.... and good news...the bad news is - your bid was below the minimum,.... the good news is...you are the high bidder" :)...... The $150.00 was the amount I was over the second place bidder - only the hi bidder gets this option....so, I left about $150.00 on the table, so to speak....:D The legendary $500.00 Lamborghini's etc are nothing more than urban myths...but...these auctions can absolutely be great deals ......a 99 BMW 325 went for $11K at the same auction as my car for example.... So, now I sit - A Cobra "virgin" driver, who can't wait for spring.....cheers **) |
Ahhh. Learned something new today. Thanks, Luke!
