    Talking Am I a good influence or what?

    About four or five years ago or so my childhood best friend Brad (ponyup) finally moved back to Chicago after following his working career to Tucson and then to san Diego. He came back driving a really nice Nissan Maxima fully loaded car, yes just one car, FAIL. Anyways I had the Marauder for awile at that time and flipped him the keys....... Thats where it started...

    First up he had to have some work done on the Nissan so he rented a new V6 Mustang and couldn't get over the quality and speed of the car. A week later he was determined to purchase one. Thats where I put my foot down! I told him I would laugh at him every time he came over in a fail V6 and that I insisted he would be happier in the GT. He went to test drive one, yeah, that lasted a few minutes. He bought the best one on the lot and drove the wee out of it since last year when I talked him into purchasing a CV LX for work to help cut the mileage LOL! Yep.... Had to have it . It's been such a great car, plus all the times he's had my MM at his disposal that tonight he put a deposit down on DDog's MM.

    A little recap.

    Maxima-SOLD
    Mustang-Bought
    CV LX-Bought
    MM-Bought

    Isn't this kinda backwards as we grow older? Good luck on the new ride Bro. Hope you get the Vicky sold.

    Bob has talked me into the best purchases of my life. DDogs Rauder is in great condition and I had my mind made up the minute I got behind the wheel, then I heard the headers, and It was like falling in love all over again. Tomorrow I go to the bank, get the rest of DDogs cash and I'm hoping to have her home for the weekend.

    As Bob mentioned, the Vic is up for sales on cars.com, as well as craigslist if anyone is interested.

    Thanks Bob, and DDog, it will be great to roll to Lousiville next year in my own Marauder (To Zack, Dom, Joe, Brandon, and Takedown: Told you guys it was just a matter of time)
