Well, I thought that I had made a deal for my new 914. Was supposed to pick it up sometime this week.
I talked with the seller yesterday and he said that it did not pass an emissions test, so he is taking it to his mechanic to see if he can get it to pass. He also tells me that he may be having second thoughts about selling the car and if his mechanic cannot get it to pass, he may (probably) choose not to sell it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

Yes Gint, Jon is a real stand-up guy. No doubt about it.
It's just that we have made a deal and I am essentially awaiting delivery. The emissions test is just a formality. I would be happy to do it myself. To tell you the truth, I expected that that responsibility would fall onto my shoulders. I was glad when Jon offered to do the test, but that has seemed to conjure up some second thoughts. I KNOW he loves his car, and doesn't want to just give it up. I just hope that I can convince him that there are few places that his car would be better off than with me. I have just seen so many cars go to lead-footed kids who could care less about their car and will just drive it into the ground. I would never want to see that happen to Jon (or his car). Maybe its because I am younger than most, but I guess the burden of proof falls on me. |
