Possibly the coolest thing for me
ok, i need to get this out. i thought i may just hold my cards until i find out if it happens or not, but i can't keep it in.
so here's the deal. i have found a deal on a 2002 Maserati Cambiocorsa Coupe, and the kicker is, i can--with a little bit of financial stretching--afford it. not begging, borrowing, and stealing, but just a few cut backs here and there.
it also means selling the Mini. that one kinda hurts. while i would really really love a Maser, I do love that mini and the culture that surrounds it.
but here is the real kicker. the fact that I can afford it means nothing if the boss says no. (the boss for you young guys is the wife.) but she is actually supportive of it, and is joining me in coming up with ways to get it. the only real issues, are the initial money up front until i can sell the mini, and figuring out if i can afford the maintenance on it. the nearest authorized dealer is 2 hours away, and im not too into driving that far for an oil change.
anyway, i am curious to hear all of your comments.
