I'd let them have both of my cars for that... And I always tell people that I wouldn't sell the red one...

I guess a 924 is not an exotic like a 928!

The new AutoWeek has Red Skelton's (!) mid-'80's Wagoneer offered at 55 grand.

I wonder what Steve McQueens 930 would fetch at auction.

Well, OJ's `lil parcel is in N. Snottsdale, so it's still worth a fair amount. You could sell all of your toys for high market value and still not even come close. I guess you can dream.

Why is it that you need things explained to you so often on this BBS, especially when it's regarding/involving your own posts?

Well, let me break it down "Barney-style" for you once again:

You said:
"now there's a fair trade: 1.39 acres in AZ for any given 1980 924."

Implying that land in AZ is not worth much (even if tongue-in-cheek).

So I said:
"Well, OJ's `lil parcel is in N. Snottsdale, so it's still worth a fair amount. You could sell all of your toys for high market value and still not even come close. I guess you can dream."

Implying (tongue-in-cheek) that you could sell all of your toys (e.g. 911's, bikes, etc.) and still not have enough to purchase OJ's parcel of land.

Not that hard to follow really. So are you still ?
