A couple of laughs over the weekend Options

[GaroldShaffer]

This past weekend I was out and seen a 74 1.8
at a used car lot, so I had to stop. The salesman
came out and started talking up the "porch" a great
little car for $6500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I ask for the keys, start it up and it ran, sort of.
I open the rear trunk and there are two holes the
size of my shoe buy each light. Salesman "a little
fiberglass will fix that", you can't stick a hair in
the passenger door gap, salesman "door just needs
a little adjustment" then almost falls on his ass trying to pull it open. Salesman wants to show me
the clean engine, yup, pops the front trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Now he is confused, so I show him where the
engine is, single carb dirt covered missing battery
tray.... I thank him for his time and start to walk
a way. He says he would really like to move this car
so I tell him he has one too many zeros in the asking
price and offer $500 for it. Needless to say I didn't
get it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Story #2

Washed my 914 this morning and found a small
amount of water on the passenger floor. I was
looking for the leak when a "older" neighbor was
walking by and stopped to chat and look at the car.
He asked what I was doing and I told him I had a
water leak from behind the glove box, he looks in
the car and says "check your heatercore, looks like
antifreeze". I explain this is a aircooled car, I get the
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) look and he says well just check and
makesure the heatercore is ok. I thank him and say
I will.
