I know a guy that used to have a 63' Galaxie that had a drive-in speaker mounted on the outside that continuously played a loop of The Macarena.
CJ - when you get one of these, you'll need a loop of this one playing continuously!

Drunk browsing ebay, found a mint, low (like 8k) mile white countach. We were house shopping, and I had pooled a good amount of cash together for the down payment.Originally posted by CJ View Post
I shot what I thought was a stupid low number on it, 13k. I knew right after I did it that it was a bad idea. I didn't worry a lot, they had been bringing 30k+, this one should be higher. I'd be outbid in a few hours if not sooner.
Nope. Three days later, I took my wife to her favorite restaurant for dinner, since I was going to have to explain that I need to go pick up an iconic exotic Sportscar to quickly resell.
I got outbid with 30 second left on the auction. I've never been so happy to lose an auction."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

Pretty much.Originally posted by Denny
No, I figured if I got it from a small town in new mexico that was a couple of hours from the nearest airport to DFW, relisted it with maybe slightly more detailed photos, etc, id get a quick buy it now sale. At that point, I was pretty calm. I talked to the dealership it was listed from, had 5k in service work done, and the owner decided to upgrade while he was there. New tires, bla bla bla.Originally posted by CJ View Post
I was more concerned about my wife's reaction to having to wait to do our house deal until I got it sold. I had my phone sitting on the table, and went to see if I had won it, preparing myself for the worst. I got an email saying I was outbid, said a little too loud "FUCK YEAH!" and put my phone down, continuing our dinner.
I didnt tell her about it until a few years later."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment
