    Good for you, but I will venture that you're not much of a salesman? LOL

    I thought you might ask.
    Though she says her daughter "has a good head on her shoulders", she also said that she has a lead foot.
    She's re-considering.

    I'm guessing that she's a single mom.
    If so, and if I were her, I'd be concerned about the fact that my car is six months and 1,000 miles from the end of warranty; I didn't get into that with her, but I will if she remains interested.

    I hope she gets it, because I hope the daughter "connects" with her grandfather's history... and I hope she drives it carefully and with spirit.

    GREAT story!

    Yeah, I suppose I'm probably too honest to be a good salesman. :D

    Oh, if she buys it, I'll gladly throw in several custom shift knobs! :Thumbsup:

    Good luck selling Doug....

    And keep making those great shift knobs.

    I'm sure at some point I'll need #4 :lol:

    Thanks!
    I got the idea to sell it, mainly to generate funds for skydiving.
    After doing 17 static line and IAD parachute jumps over the past 34 years, (and being shaky at the thought of freefalling), I finally worked up some nerve and did a 14,000' tandem jump a month ago, and now I'm hooked. :D

    So I took the ground school for the AFF course a week later, then did an 18,000' tandem jump this past weekend, along with my son, in Colorado.
    FUN FUN FUN!!!
    And it's something that even a geezer like me can enjoy. :Thumbsup:
