OT - Toolbox

So I live in Canada right!

I go to Home Depot, 9 pm tonight, and see the Limited Edition (999) Nascar toolbox that they have there. Appearently only in Canada.

All you signal orange 914 owners know the one, yeah the one that would match our cars quite nicely.

Well up here they want $1400 Cdn($1100 US) for them. Today they are $600 Cdn($460). I'd say thats a good deal. I'm in the market for a new box. Old chest of drawers aint doin it for me anymore.



Well, Story goes like this.

"Nice box, is that 600 for one piece or both?"
"Both, and its the last one."
"Last one! I'll take it."
"Sorry its sold."
"There isnt a sold sign!?"
"Sorry, Theres nothing we can do for you sir.", as the sales lady pushes it away.

They (sales people) didnt show any interest in it until I did.

All I had to say was !@#$, pick a 4 letter word there a few that fit.

Cut to the chase?

OK, tommorow I'm phoning the Bossman to see what he CAN do for me.

Maybe I might start calling it Home Defect too.

Thanks for listening, wish me luck.

Here they are on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35001&item=2452741374

Who is this Tony guy? Some sort of mechanic? Can you take the Tony graphics off?

Hey Conrad.

I think I heard of this Tony guy, doesnt he work on Italian cars?
Ifigured I'd take the graphics off they are only stickers.

Thats fine Dave I've seen it too, but this one matches my cars without any painting and HD's doesnt cost 900


SS sure is pretty but youll spend more time keepng it that way than working.
