    defination of CHEAP

    would everybody agree that a well known NCRS member would fit the definition of cheap under the following circumstances: he takes delivery of a new ZR1 a couple of weeks ago, hauls it to his storage facility and deposits it in his collection of well over 20 c-1, c-2 and c-3s as well as antique autos, trucks, and wagons. he then heads out to Carlisle from the deep south in a 210,000 mile 1998 Buick. on his return home, the Buick engine seizes.then he nearly has a myocardial infarct when the tow truck operator informs him the storage fee for the Buick will be $30 per day. mike

                    Dr. Mike, Inquiring minds wanna know who you are referring to.
                    Is the midget from GA??? Does he wear shorts all the time??? (same color)
                    Tell the truth for once. Ohhhh. Just got the answer from DW.
                    Only you could call poor CC filthy names and get away with it.
                    New ZR1 huh. Being head honcho for our favorite club must pay big bucks.

                        The reason he hauled it to his storage facility is because he can't see over the steering wheel nor can his feet reach the pedals.

                            Mike, at 58 I always swear I've have seen it all, But I am continually hard pressed at what some folks do. So often the wildest, weirdest and stupid things that happen both in and out of our hobby. IE: I was at a NCRS meet in Wildwood, NJ where a individual who had a 77 corvette with only 5 miles on it. Why might thee ask ? Simple, Because he and his hired help only push the car backwards ! He never drives it, save for getting it on a trailer. Once on, it rolls backwards to be put out for a show.
                            Each day is a gift, respect it, and enjoy it as if it were the last!

                              OK, I am just a girl, but does rolling it backwards really roll back the miles? And, don't try to sell me a lot on the marsh!
