True story

I was driving thru Michigan yesterday,and pulled into a gas station. A dude(and I mean DUDE) ask me if that Porsche was mine. Well after showing it to him he asked me what I paid for it. (it was great price,so far..lol) Well he says,"if you drive to my home about a mile away,i'll give ya $15,000 for that car." I would have pocketed a nice profit. I said "I just got it!" Well I was in a hurry so I turned down his offer. Those Michigan peeps love their cars..Any other great stories out there that happen to you..Im sure ther are..hehe

Where in Michigan were you? My daughter and I took a nice ride yesterday but we stayed around home, Genesee/Saginaw counties.

It's the East coast of Michigan today. Gotta get those drives in before the snow flies.

you might have avoided selling - or being beaten 1/2 to death and have it stolen from you....

I like to think people are good, but there are some weird ones, be careful heading to people's houses to get your $15k worth of cash

cool story!

Yes, it sounds a little suspicious. Especially with all the haters that people seem to encounter in the Porsche owner etiquette thread.
