$.02 = two months ago, i had one roadster. a little less than two months
ago, andrew posted an ad he had seen in los angeles for two roadsters for
sale, plus numerous spare parts. when i went to see the cars, i couldn't
believe what a "treasure trove" i had in front of me. i bought them
instantly.
i live in los angeles, but had no idea those cars were available. and but
for andrew posting the ad to this list, i still wouldn't have.
i felt guilty buying them (because it was truly a trove of treasures),
because andrew, another died in the wool roadster nut saw it first. why
wasn't he buying it?
i told myself that he posted it to the list. he must have meant for one of
us to find that treasure and appreciate it for what it was. if he had wanted
it, he would have just bought it. instead he shared it with us.
so like you all learned in kindergarten, it (this list IMHO) is about sharing.
