Default Re: Looking for #702

I feel really bad that I bought it. I think Lee even told me the story about his engine some time ago.

What's a complusive Corvette guy to do?

Lee, even though I really want a driver, if you really want it, I'll give it up. You chased it. I just got lucky .....for once.

There are no hard feelings whatsoever, Patrick actually e-mailed me and told me he did not expect it to sell it so soon, offered to make it right....I have enough on my plate with the motors. Will probably start saving my pennies for a Callaway Car. Really would like to buy Paul's 415 at the Indy auction, but the auction system is just kind of odd, they want a 10% deposit on your max bid, etc..

As Jeff pointed out I have had my fair share of breaks with wheels, buying this motor, etc.

Can't win them all

Sounds to me like you did win Lee. Less work, and more money to apply towards what you really want!

Lee, once you've got tired of the motor and /or car, just let me know. Maybe I'll buy the whole car or just the motor or?????

If I ever decide to sell the chassis, I'll call you first.

Believe me, I've always been the guy tripping over the horseshoe and stubbing my toe.

I just hope that everyone won't hold me accountable for the huge price drop in ZR1 values now. It seems anytime I get something, values tend to drop.

I hope she got a leather one. hahaha

I've bought my wife a few of those things. I always buy the leather ones. I tell her "If I'm paying that much for a purse, something has to die in the process". More porterhouse for everyone...
