Re: asc GP IV 4 sale

i agree with sandy kinda i was once asked and told by a guys "is
your car for sale" "no" i said "then its not worth anything your car
isint worth anything unless its for sale or your dead and someone
else is selling it" he said so if an ASC McLaren made to MY taste
and MY satisfaction is worth something to me and this is a car that
i will always keep and have just like my dad did with his 1969
Shelby GT500 he kept his car from when he was a kid and will one day
give it to me (maybe maybe not hes not talking to me for the last 4
weeks... and i distroyd a mint condition del Sol dont want to
distroy his baby) and one day i will give the ASC to my kid.

now i didnt know thease cars were so frikin rare.
b4 i got my ASC in september i was offerd it when i still had my del
Sol in augest. the weekend after i was offerd to buy the ASC from a
step sisters uncle i went to something us michiganers like to call
the Woodward Dream Cruise. now i dont know if any of you out of
saters know a thing or 2 about this. but woodward is a road that
stretches from the Detroit River through 4 countys i belave. the
road also has history as being the first ever paved road in the
world. every 2nd weekend in augest every person from all over the
world comes in with there clasics and the big 3 (well cant call them
that now thank you verry much toyota) put on huge displays. the 8
lane Blvd. is bumper to bumper for miles and miles and miles and
miles and miles and miles ( i think you get the point) of clasic
cars well back to the story. i was walking down the street at the
dream cruise with my dad when we came across a Silver T-top car that
said CAPRI across the hood and had some funky looking orange wheels
my dad started talking with the guy telling him about my car (then
it wasint mine) the guy said oh that car aint worth more then 1200
and my dad looked over at his car and was like this looks alot like
it and saw a for sale sighn and the price on it was 2,300 now if
this was a GP ASC McLaren and it was silver and there as rare as you
say then that guy was frikin NUTZ and i should have got that car
over mine! the end!
