Mooty- i'm the guy referenced earlier that purchased the 83k mile car. Might contact you when the time comes, but hopefully not too soon. It was a DD for first owner, now i just use for track. Bedded in new pagid yellows at 6am this morning- 100mph down to 30 several times. Gotta love it. Nobody around to witness...

Learn from the master..........ALL HAIL MOOTY
you have a pay chk?
i beg for allowances.
finally got a job so i can buy tires.

dozen roses cost a lot. so use the sparingly. i always sent "9". it sounds like "forever" in chinese. the remaining "3" goes to certain brunette. on day 3-4 depending on room temp, you need to hand roses upside down and dry them. dont wait until they droop. dry them at full bloom. long stem, dense pedal roses only. takes 2 weeks to dry. dry them so wife can't see them. then arrange them in tall vase with uncooked broken rice... they will last decades, trust me. i got a lot of those hidden. then re-present them to her. and display them somewhere. now you have EVIDENCE to remind her ALL the roses you sent her.

oh, dont spend money at tiffanies. go elsewhere. tiffany rings dont last. i broke 3. and they are very snooty when i tried to get them repaired. i told them i though diamonds dont chip... my was a tiny little rock flush mounted. how i chipped it i have no idea... maybe b/c i hit it on a rock when i flew off my mt bike?

but here's the kicker. 6 yrs ago i went to tiff to buy "eternity ring". those are not $$. so after some shopping, i decided to buy it. it was a size 4. then i told the sales woman, i will take another one at size 4.5. she goes you need "two rings"... OMG, the look on her face was priceless.....

nice serge. i was wondering why i am in the gym every other day, but your muscles are 3x bigger than mine. i lift dead wts. you work on live ones. ah...... i bow to you.... but my brunette is 105 lbs. wont be much help.
sorry, stuck at in laws. RL is saving my life right now.

if the 80k or so are street miles, you bought a new car. i no longer count street miles as USAGE. your car will last a long time. no need to worry.

If only you knew the whole story. Next track day.

She was my sugar-mama, thereby enacting the new policy of not paying for anything / no jewelry / etc, for any girl, from here-on-out. We'll see how far this takes me.

Like you say, gotta find the rich ones!!!

Hey Joe, I may want to buy one of your better sets of wheels (The TR's or Forgelines). They're "for my wife".....

Used to be below my posts, but let RL subscription lapse. Will renew if I decide to list for sale. The car has never been wrecked, but has had both bumper covers and front trunk lid painted. Has a good sized ding on one fender where prior owner's small son knocked an exhaust into it. Interior very nice considering mileage.

It's a driver, not a concours car.

Please PM me details about the car when you decide to put it up for sale. I have been browsing the last year or so and want just that, a drivers car .
