Wow, usually insanity is a hereditary trait you acquire from your children.

The joke is that you are saying you blame other people for everything,and then reinforce that statement by proceeding to blame your parents for making you like that, Boy you guys dont get jokes very well..

[/ QUOTE ] Just make sure to list it like the L89. Thats how all rare car auctions should be. The car is available at any time for a fixed price,and if someone wants to make a serious offer and be held to that offer[note emphasis on HELD] they can have that option. How close are we on a sale by the way??

Stories? When I write my book, most of them will come out. Here's a teaser. Imagine hitting a record breaking ice/snow storm (Superbowl weekend 1986) on the way back from buying the car and seeing this unfold in front of you, mile after mile. It was a complete white out and these guys still felt invincible at 65 mph...until they tried to change lanes, take a curve, stop, or take an exit ramp. I felt like Mel Gibson in the original Mad Max...just trying to make it home, running a guantlet of insane truck drivers. There was about 1,000 miles of this:

incredible Steve! the day i brought my 69 RR home in 96 was very similar. a crazy snow/ice storm. i remember one time looking out the drivers side window to see my RR on the trailor looking to pass in the passing lane

It was the scariest road trip of my life. I was going about 25 mph along with all the other car traffic and these trucks whould just scream by at 65 or 70. I guess they thought at 8 feet off the ground they were somehow above the weather inversion layer that was closer to the ground like us car drivers were.

At one point I pulled off the highway into a Holiday Inn to stop for the night. Of course, no vacancy. I go to leave the parking lot and it was sheet ice. All the wheels locked up and my whole rig goes sliding downhill across a 4-way intersection, through a red light. The Good Lord steered me into the only non tree-lined/concrete abutted/cliff edged spot in the area. It turned out to be the gravel parking lot of a bar, threading the needle between two tractor trailers.

I took that as a hint from God that I should stop there and get a drink til the weather cleared.

It sure took a while for that darned weather to clear.
