Oh no, I like stuff like that. Nothing wrong among ourselves.

Even Calendar Boy had fun with the Pink PLRX, but I also had my fun.

I'm pretty sure this can get by police radar. No doubt it inspired the C4 radiator installation.

Read this earlier today, look at the fine point. All you get is the salvage materials as it will be stripped and dismantled when handed over.

I can blame him for scrapping it for cheap. It would be great to see it in a museum, but I realize the secrets in it might be something we don't want known for a long time.

A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,
"Thank you Mr. American for letting me come into this country, giving
me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for
having such a beautiful country here in America."

The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he
stops,shakes his hand, and says,"Thank you for wonderful America!"

That person puts up his hand and says,
"I am from Middle East.I am not American."

He finally sees a nice lady and asks,"Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa."

Puzzled, he asks her,"Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says,*

"Probably at work."

Even worse in the Republik of California. We are the most lenient state in the U. S. at giving out benefits. And then the politicians wonder why we are broke.

At least all of them were speaking English in NY.

I you have a C4, the main reason nobody is driving them, is they have reached their total depreciation, and all mechanically inclined owners are restoring them, in five years they will re-emerge as the best value in the market., as C5-and C6 prices begin to plummet, and the wear and tear becomes evident. look at them now, worn rubber, broken adjustable suspension, very difficult to access the rear quarter of the engine from above, etc. these things are very expensive to replace, repair, unless you turn your own wrenches, and even then the parts are out of sight. Don't discount your C4s. it's a Mistake.

That guy's fact is way off. I better stop driving The Ghost, its restoration, but the paint was over $20,000 and I didn't replace the wheel. I will wait 25 years, that way I order one for $5,000.

The real value will be in the desirability of his deluxe Bose stereo. He doesn't even need the car around it!
