Stumbled across 4 or 5 old 911s in a field

I stumbled across 4 or 5 old 911s in a farmer's field today. I am thinking about trying to buy them to fix one up.

What should I offer for these cars? I assume none are currently running.

How rusty are they? I'd investigate that aspect carefully, unless they are free or nearly free.

Was it a poppy field?... exactly how much kool aid have you had today? I saw Noahs Arc on a hillside on the north shore the other day during a hike.

I had four (or was it 5?) super-models hit on me today. What should I do?

Hey, every day I drive past a farm where the farmer has an old Ferrari parked outside the barn. I keep trying to buy it, but he wants like $2,000, and I'm not that stupid.

It's painted white, oddly enough, and the farmer told me that some bum showed up one afternoon and wanted some food, he told the guy he'd give him dinner if he painted the porch out back. Gave him a bucket of white paint, and the guy came back an hour later and said the job was done.

Oh, and the bum said, "By the way, that's not a Porsh, it's a Ferrari."

VAGEEN = 16 year old douchebag(s) with nothing better to do. Or the adult equivalent thereof.

See "troll" in the New Internet Webster's dictionary.
