[Overpaid Slacker]

go over the top. as amazing, crazy and one-in-a-billion as possible.

Then, find some pretext to ask him what's up... any new toys on the horizon for the spring, etc.

Or call him and say, "hey, you're a muscle car guy, right? A friend of mine found this kid with a (the type of car you've told him it is) and he's going to look at/buy it/whatever tomorrow. Those (cars) are really valuable, right? What does he need to look for?" Alternately, you could have a mutual acquaintance call him with the same shpiel...

I want to know how this comes out.
