I should go down and see it - to say goodbye. Funny, the sales pukes told me they weren't going to try to sell it themselves. They said they were going to wholesale it and wouldn't be able to sell a car like that. I guess $$ signs have clouded that thinking.

Most likely.. i havent seen their asking price, but im sure its absurdly more than they gave you. Go visit it, and comment on why its in the showroom for sale haha, might get yourself some free services

They actually drove it over there themselves first and got a low ball offer so they started working the phones.

Well, rest easy Mark, they are gunna wholesale it anyway (for exactly what they paid you for it i hear). I guess they just wanted it on the showroom floor for safety, so no one took it out and wrecked it, which one of our techs almost did haha.

Congrats on the IS-F! I am sure it is more practical than the GT-2. Are you going to track it?

Insurance = slightly cheaper than GT3.

Track = Maybe if the opportunity presents itself.

We should organize a CL Norcal track event!

Default GT-3 to IS-F!
It sure is hard to keep track of the cars you've had Mark. Congrats on the latest acquisition. Next meet we get you to come out to should be interesting as I know you will have lots of stories to tell by then.

Btw, does Brenda get to drive Daddy's new toy. LOL Regards to the family Mark.
