Garage
I have a 3 car garage, and the main work bay is where I normally park the El Camino. To move the 911 over I pull the 911 out and park it on my driveway parking area up by the garage. Go the the Elky, and pull it into the spot where the 911 normally resides, and then pull the 911 into the work bay.

In the three minutes or so that took some guy pulled up in front of my house and approached the 911 still in the parking area of my house, on my property. He asked if it were for sale and I replied in my standard line: Not for any reasonable price. He said how about 20 grand. I said that is not a reasonable price, but insultingly low, I meant my price is over 100 grand not give away price.

He took pictures and since I was home he sure knew where I lived. He said he would talk to his brother and he really likes the car. If some fool pays me 100 large, I will sell. People with 100K don't buy cars worth 50 to 60 grand. Now I think I will raise the price to 200K.

When the 911 is parked in the garage, it is locked. I disconnected the DME relay for a month or so after that guy approached me.

About once a month someone offers to buy my El Camino. They always try some insulting low ball offer like I am an idiot. Again not for sale for any reasonable price. If I sold it I have no idea what I would replace it with. I don't want a pickup like 1/3 the vehicles around here, and I sure ain't getting a SUV or minivan or generic econobox sedan.
