Too big to fail

Earning my Cruel Bastard (De)Merit Badge
I went to a VW show to day (Sacramento Bug-O-Rama). I drove my '60 panel, had a friend drive my '61 double cab, and another friend's wife drove my new '68 single cab.
To earn my Cruel Bastard Merit Badge, I hung a "for sale" sign in the singe cab with a really low price, and with a piece of masking tape over it that said 'sold' - although you could still see the "asking price" Sure enough, all day long people went over to the truck and said things like 'damn!' or '*****, that was a deal' This was good for literally hours of entertainment. Some people came running - literally running over to the truck only to face-plant into a brick wall of disappointment. Yes, I'm going to hell. Mule, save me a seat up front   Our lineup:

LOL, you should have told the interested parties that you picked it up for $500 after finding it under a pile of boxes in an old lady's barn.

Flippin' SWEET!! You should add a bronze star to the medal.
Did you admit the truth to anyone there?  And oh yeah, did you see any black Audi wagons??

ha ha...great idea.
Also the Audi comment cracked me up...two weeks ago at the Nurburgring I was taking pictures of the 50 - 100 Porsche cars in the lot and when I loaded them on the computer I noticed this one!

No, I didn't give the game away - that would be like trying to earn a merit badge by helping an old lady across the street, and then pushing her under a bus - counter productive...
I the the BAW is going to become the ubiquitous 'backpack guy' or 'everywhere girl'

Well done, Thom, very well done. I'll have to file that one away for future reference.
