It's a good form of capital gains.

Why?simply because you don't have them?

Party at Carleton's house!

This is OT, but this got me thinking of you Carleton...the other night I was leaving a pub late, maybe 2 a.m. and there was this gorgeous antique Buick left in the lot. Apparently the guy who owns it was escorted from the premises and given a lift home, too drunk to drive and the Buick apparently wouldn't start anyway. He left the car there for several days, if you can beleive it and as I was admiring it, I noticed it was unlocked! I have no idea what these are worth but the car was completely mint looking. Perfect. I did take a respectful peek inside. Who leaves a car like that sitting unlocked for several days? Something dodgy there...

Anyway it looked exactly like this - same color, trim, everything.

Looks like a '37 series 80.Damn fine car,OHV straight 8,about 120bhp on tap and good for 100 flat out.

The only Buicks I had were 2 1927s and a '16.Sold'em too soon maybe,but I always upgrade where possible.

So?P.M. me the fellow's #.Chances are if I do not want it I have a network of collectors who may.
Just so long as it's not a 110,Clipper or 120.Those are the cheap ones.

Brian, I hope your recovery is going well despite the altercation.

It would appear that today is just one of THOSE days for bad drivers who express their anger by driving and acting recklessly. They're simply everywhere and fortunately it didn't escalate beyond where it did.

Traffic was horrible today and the drivers that were on the road were extra horrible. I suspect a lot of people who normaly don't drive took today off.

And I thought I got exercised by tailgaters.
