[Healeys] Fw: 1960 Austin Healey 3000 BN7

[Carlos Cruz]

Good morning Listers,
 
Precautionary RANT warning - discard if not interested.
 
I am working on a theory that there are only three kinds of people born every minute.  If there is a Fool born every minute then there must be a Wack Job born every minute.   And to ensure there is balance in the universe there must be a Super Hero born every minute as well to look out for the Fool and bring down the Wack Job.
 
I must get a dozen of these emails a week (see below) from nut cases that claim to want to buy my Healey (no longer for sale) sight unseen, no questions asked and for whatever I'm asking for.  Usually the con man is located in some African country that has no paved roads.  We all know how well our cars do on unpaved roads right?  
 
This quack claims to be from the UK, seems to struggle with the Queen's English - any English for that matter.  Funny how they always are interested in paying the LAST PRICE for the car.  I hope he heard the demand for the car has gone up so much because of a$$holes like him that I've decided to triple the price in hopes of pulling a Kurt Tanner result at BJ.
 
One other notable thing about all this junk mail - Am I the only one in the world without their own shipping company?  I mean, seriously... how does anything in the world stay in one place when every buyer seems to have their own shipping company?
 
Has anyone ever toyed with these bozos?  I should tell him the price has tripled and since I work for the post office I'll handle the shipping.  I have a bunch of old used parts I wouldn't mind getting rid of.  I can send them to him postage due, one piece at a time just for fun.
 
Or maybe I should tell him I've decided to keep the car but he's welcome to have my ex-wife and mother-in-law - Now we've got a deal!
 
Damn.... just fell off my soap box.  Happy Monday to All.
 
Cheers,
Carlos
The New Kid on the Left Coast
