People are always stopping me and offering to buy my Fiesta. They are becoming a HUGE collectors item in NorCal.
to sell to Japan - for scrap iron - to get reincarnated into a Honda.

When I was running around on glasspacks when I first got the LS1 in, everyone would come over at every gas station and auto parts store and try and make me an offer on my FD...

I had someone leave a similar note on my car once and I just dismissed. Later in the day when I was working on my car he swung by again and asked me if I wanted to sell. I said I would for the right price, and he offered me $5k . I told him kbb was $19k (it was back then) and that I wanted more then that. I never saw a more disappointed face in my life.

I live at the top of a long driveway, way off the street, I was outside chillin' shooting at some rats with a pellet gun and this duct tape holding it together POS Metro came pulling up and this kid gets outs walks over to my 86 NA and goes "how much". I'm like WTF! standing there with a gun shouldered up and this kid says how much? Just to blow his mind I said it was a 3 rotor, he looked like he pissed and ****** his pants at the same time. After alittle talking he came to the conclusion that I wasn't selling my car so he decided to leave, gets in his car and the heep on wheels deluxe wouldn't start so he asked me if I could push his car down the hill so it could bump start, gets half way down the hill and it lets out one of the loudest backfires ever, so loud my neighbors go out on their patio only to find me holding a gun, needless to say they called the cops. After explaining everything, they just told me to tell anymore uninvited guess to leave and to leave the pellet gun in the house. That was one weird and crazy day.
