Very true.... Anything (not in the Everglades) you can dock a boat at in S. Florida is going to be very expensive. Any house with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on the water has already been torn down. $150,000 will get a 2 or 3 bedroom villa (attached house) 10 miles from the beach in Palm...

Either is equally inconvenient for me. I have a rich friend in Pinecrest. Maybe I can get him to come along and shame him into picking up the check. :)

Like I said, your humor keeps getting better and better. I wonder how many here know the story about Umberto's?!?!. (well, now I can take a pretty good guess at what area of the country you live, (or did). Anyway, no, your choice. (I can see eating my cup of soup and maybe a potoato, while...

Nothing really "wrong"...there was a scratch on the front bumper which needed to be touched up, and the cars are "programmed" to your preferences. The sales dept. does the programming with a handheld computer (laptop?...didn't see). But the Z4 is too new, so they can only do it with the big...

Makes sense. Cars gotta move somehow. Nope, think I got most of it. Tried to anticipate your questions:):) Speaking of questions, when are you going to be here to take me up on my standing offer? Also, off the subject, I saw you were interested in Fla. RE as an investment on that other...

Greer SC...sounds like a thriving metropolis. I wonder if they have a subway system:) Yeah, I had a bar/restaurant after I sold my business in Aspen. Did the bar/restaurant from 77-84. Sold it, got a job as a stockbroker (what else is there when you are in your late 30's with no special...

KF, you are right. I misquoted you. I made the post off the top of my head. Originally, I had said that I wasn't even sure if it was you or AAA who said the things to that effect. Only later, after having written the post did I go back and check the sources you and AAA really wrote. So I had to...

Hey, you want to hear something funny? I don't know exactly what the "50' year old guy did...it certainly wasn't racing cars. The guy is kind of nebishy. But I used "50" to make things simple. He is actually 47 or 48. And as it happens, he used to come into my bar when he was 17 and get thown...

Well that answers that. Give the germans a screwdriver and a wrench, and they are the best. But computers? My sticker says Engine: Germany Transmission: Germany What is weird though, is on the top right, where it says all that stuff, it says "final assembly point: Spartanburg, SC...

Well, the "kid" is about 50. So it's at least better than having my son go from my garage to the driveway:) But no, I am not thrilled about the prospect. But I was kind of left without a choice. They noticed the scratch when the car was being waxed for delivery. I had no other way home. My...

Looking at my window sticker. Final Assembly Point...Spartanburg SC. US/Canadian parts content: 35% German part content : 55% Which leaves 10% as a secret:confused: But the VIN number starts with a 4, not a 1. Which means what Max? (BTW, I got my golf bag in the trunk...

Vulture, Truth is, I don't really know exactly what my premium will be, 'cause I got the car yesterday (Saturday), so I couldn't get a quote from my carrier. The way they work it in Florida is you just sign a statement of ownership, and the dealer contacts the insurance company for you...

Yo, Nito, The car is gray with a gray top. How can you tell where the transmission is made??? I am not familiar enough to know about the DSC light...but my brother has the same car as you, He's a car nut, so I will ask him about your light going on when I speak to him tomorrow...can't...

Yes, well I thought we were talking about Boca. When did I "cry"? I could not "back out" of anything I had not agreed to. I had no idea you meant Monaco and not Florida. Offer still stands. For anywhere between, let's say, Jupiter (Florida, not the planet) and Key Largo. Not east of the...

Excuse me????? I "stiffed you on dinner"? When did this happen? You said you would be here (at least that is how I interpreted it) on or about June 3rd. I PM'd you my phone number. How did I "stiff" you??? :confused: RS

Beautifully said!!! KymerF called me "indecisive" and "nothing but middle of the road" for having the same outlook. There is, IMHO, everything right with questioning the decisions of our leaders, and everything wrong with being completely dedicated to supporting every single decision...

I think it would be a pretty cool car for a young real young guy. When I was in college, I would have loved to have had something like a TR4 or a MGB. Or even smaller like a Sprite or even a Midget. And Triumph had one also.. Spitfire. (THERE was an ugly car!!). To me, that's the kind of a...

AAA...yesterday when I got the car, it was pouring rain. But this morning was beautiful. I put the top down, and the sound reminded me immediately of my dad's 1960 Austin Healy!! Max, I hope you are right, but it sure doesn't look like it. I haven't tried yet to get my bag in....it looks...

No, not at all. Being self disciplined is enough. I hope you understand the distinction. Peace, :)RS

OK, so in that case up. Or across, or whatever the case may be. But I have always had this mental image of you living in a basement. There are no basements in the Keys. Of course my pre-conceptions have often been wrong before. Anything is possible. I accept that. So, if you are...
