Default Oh, really

Nothing like making it difficult. Anyone truly interested has to ask the seller, well, where do you start? I for one wonder why it is out of the car; Oh, he blew the engine and happens to have this, well, did anything happen to the shell when the original engine blew? Will he install the engine in the car if I make a non-refundable deposit?

Next.

its a silly ad, no way is that intended to sell the car. Nobody drops 65 big ones on a presentation like that. Wonder what is really going on? Maybe he'll drop by here.

Herm, (and Barb), it looks to me like with a boat/ship that large you ought to be able to devise a place on the poop deck to park the GTS and some kind of lift or hoist with which you can load and off-load it so that you will have your favorite ride available wherever your ship takes you.
