ust like our government... slow and steady dont always win the race... lol

A lot of people are.


Someone called into WRVA earlier, saying they are out $750,000 dollars, and they haven't been reimbursed a penny. All the cars are sitting behind their dealership, and they have stopped the program, because if they keep it up, they will be bankrupt.

For some reason this is funny to me. I almost expected this to happen. Joe is right, slow and steady will not win this race.

next thing that will happen is all the dealerships that stopped doing the program wont get paid at all cause they didnt follow through with the oboma plan... lol... ad run themselfs dry

I can see it now, next will be "bucks for bombers" or "moola for missles"

Now dealers everywhere are pulling out;

I'm going to *try* and do the right thing when the time comes.


A co-worker is going to retire in December and move back to Italy so she can be with her parents this December (IIRC.)

She said she is going to leave me her car:



If that works out, I will donate my old truck to CHKD, Salvation Army, or similar.

1993, if your giving away trucks, I promise to give it a good home!

BTW, thats a nice looking Cavalier, and for the price you cant beat it! Good luck with that deal.

Well,

I tell you what. If, *IF* I get the Cavalier, and you still want it (Jr. also seemed interested in it, swapping the motor from the S10 and putting it in when he had the money) Whoever wants it more can come get it.

Say, $150?
(I'm replacing the U-joints this week, if it makes you feel better)
