I'm going to go out and buy some cars to sell to you.
I'm down to only three cars now and everybody in the neighborhood is
thinking *mabey he'll hold it down*, but not me, I'm trying to buy
another Aircooled Westy right now to resurect.

I've got a nice BathTub Porsche if you're interested, vintage 1963.
