Default Re: Deleted ad for COPO engine - anyone else see it?

I am sorry about the confusion on that one guys. The owner of the motor gave me that price while I was visting his collection without checking his records. Yesterday he realized what he had into the motor while researching the answers to some of the questions prospective buyers had. I apologize for getting everyone hot and bothered, then have to pull the ad (thank you Charlie). I'll take the egg on my face to save my cleint from selling a perfectly good motor at a considerable loss.

Sincerely,

Patrick Krook

Is it hard to sell stuff with a last name like that?

Well, that took all of a dozen posts...

It can be disarming, I once ran for student senate in college with the campaign slogan "I am not a Nixon." and got elected.

I even thought of using my name for the business:



Perhaps a tag line like "Drive it like it's stolen ('cause it is)." -or- "Hot Cars at Hot Prices."

This is the WORST one I have ever run across. Please note that the last name is pronounced (with-'em). http://dickwitham.dealerconnection.com/?lang=en

kind of reminds me of the old Dr. Seuss book.

I do not want it on a train
I do not want it on a plane
I do not like it Sam I am
I will not eat that....with ham

ok these are all great, but seeing how this has gone on this long I will have to share this one, we went to high school with this poor kid with the last name of Dickwacker no bs, poor guy took allot of crap, ya'know how kids can be ruthless, he snapped a couple times at keggers though, poor sob, always wondered where he went.

I can still hear people yelling out "Hey Dickwacker!"
