Re: [ASC McLaren ] The Ultimate late model Mercury convertible is for sale on eBay!!

True, Jim - BUT everything on my cars works and has windows and all.
I would like to own one of the ascMcLaren concept cars (I know the
guy has several of them) but, I am totally out of room. Actually, I
was out of room some years ago. I cannot even THINK about buying any
car! I have 2 in the garage, 2 in the driveway & 2 in climate
controlled storage that are fiancially breaking me! I need to find
cheaper private garage housing for those 2. I guess IF IF IF IF I
could afford to drop (what's it at, I have not checked) ... say
$65,000 for a concept and had my own indoor storage, I'd like to have
it. Just hard for me to imagine at this point. I'd need to win the
lottery (and a big one, at that) to even "entertain" the passing
thought of concept car ownership .... Right now, I am paying $30,000
a year for our one & onlys college education,
room/board/tuition/books/expenses. That's like buying a new fully
loaded Crown Victoria every year, that throwing away the prior years
car! GULP, right?
On the "concept" ascMcLaren, we have located at least 8 of them.
