Why am I killing myself?
 
Why am I slowly killing myself trying to build my 99 when I could just drop $15K to buy this 91 and be done with it?

He starts with this ad:

Miata, 91 25K in fancy stuff

and follows up with this detailed piece:

Miata 1991, all the bells and whistles, burn rubber at a 100

When are we handing out the "Most descriptive CL ad EVVVVVVEEEEEERRRR" award?

Wow that thing looks sick. I dunno why I'm wasting my time building my 99' anymore.

lol.

Some people don't understand the interweb very well...

So I e-mailed the guy telling him that I loved how descriptive he was in his CL ad so much that I was ready to send him a check and fly out to pick it up right away, he responded with: "give me your fax number so I can send you the mods" so of course I had to keep going. I responded to that with "no I already told you that you can consider it sold, I loved how descriptive you were and fell in love with the car at first...read"

Now he's concerned I might be a scammer and wants to wait for the check to clear before I pick the car up. I asked if I could send him a check, fly to his house, and sleep in the car until the check clears, waiting on his reply now :giggle:

He told me by email that his fax is broken and that I should call for a list of the mods and "I'll read them to you." I declined and wrote back, "All I'm asking is what makes this car so fast -- turbocharger, V8 conversion, etc.?" .... he wrote back to me, "Super turbocharger"... LOL, I didn't waste my time beyond that.

He finally responded that I was more than welcome to fly in and sleep in the car until my check cleared...what an ass.. :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

This is what I got just now trying to pry details out of him:

"Call me, I will tell you all about it--supercharged to max."

elesjuan 10-27-2008 05:51 PM
