One guy is actually a collector. '69 camaro, absolute perfect condition. All kinds of goodies added on to it. He's so anal he won't even drive it to a car show 7 miles from his house. Puts it on a carrier and pulls that with his "everyday" truck. He has another newer one with more chrome than should be legal to own.

But I feel your pain. It's common. That's why I've never owned a 'vette even though I wanted one for years. Or a Lexus for the wife, (she has to settle for a Toyota). Always afraid of crossing that envy line that is human nature.
Not doing any hiring are you?....lol

Most people around here drive Fords. alot of old 70s and 80s trucks and 80s early 90 mustangs and a few newer model stangs and some imports....

I dont know how many times i have heard this. usually they would say well i guess you are going up on your prices again i see a new truck sitting out there or something like that. which i never increase my prices to make more money only raise what has been raised on me.

I dont want this to come off the wrong way but I am glad that I am not the only one. I thought maybe it was just me.

I no longer park my vehicles in site anymore. I had someone to egg my brand new silverado the night I got it. I was
