WooHooo! another SPG....(story) Posted by Walt [Email] (#2707) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Walt) on Sat, 29 Mar 2003 09:44:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Right place, right time....gotta share...
Here's the story...I got laid off a few days ago (after 11 years)...so on my first day off, I'm out running some errands (in my SPG, no less), went past a junkyard, thought 'Heck, might as well stop'. Did a u-turn, went back. Inquired about Saab and Buick parts...said he 'had a few....I could take a look but it's real muddy. But that Saab over there is a customers car'....
I look at 'the customers' car first...hmmm...Edwardian Grey....black SPG panels!!! (there goes my heart rate!)...SPG wheels. Great body and paint, interior fair...Thought 'I'd pay $500 for it'...
I then wandered thru the yard...a few 4 drs, a 9000 less turbo, some cool old cars..'55, 57 Chevy, a 40's Buick full of bullet holes, a 40's Hudson Hornet...real history. Should've brought my camara...Damn, I love junkyards!
I inquire about 'the customers car'.....he tells me he has the title for it...customer has unpaid bills, owed him money, something like that. He says like to get rid of it (there goes my heart rate again!), has about $400 into it, and would like to get that much for it....(thump, thump, thump!)...5th, 2nd and reverse is bad....but it runs nice. I look it over...looks like original paint, no apparent collision damage, looks pretty solid, 158k miles...I think...I don't need another car...but...fate brought me here...this car was meant to be mine....to walk away would surely upset the continium.....
So, I'm now jobless...I wake up, look out the window, see my new SPG...I smile, think 'thanks boss!'. I'm happy, and the continium is in balance...
