Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest What a great weekend !

SO, I took the wife to a baseball game on Saturday here in the Springs. They were giving away used cars every inning and the weather was perfect. We were sitting back and enjoying the game. My new day shift allows me to spend some extra time with the wife.

Lo and behold, 5th inning, I WIN A CAR ! THATS RIGHT, I WON A CAR ! Nothing special, but its a freakin car. a 1997 Merc. Sable, white 3.0 V6. It looks super clean, I get it tomorrow. I was smiling just because it was one of the main reasons I went to the game and Jess and me were talking about how cool it would be to win a car for $18 (the cost of the tickets).

So, I get back to my seat and Jess says, well do you want to stay or leave. SKysox are getting there but kicked. I said nah, we should stay so you can win a car. OH YEAH, THATS RIGHT, SHE WON A CAR IN THE 8TH INNING. LOL She got a 1996 Ford Taurus. It is very clean and we get that car tomorrow too. 9 cars were given out, 3000 people had signed up and me and jess take two cars !!!!!! The odds 1 in 6.2 million that we both could win a car in a drawing.

I am now a 5 car err. Taxs are $100 each, so for $218 we got two cars ! Cant wait for the resale, classifieds here I come. Thanks for reading -B.

need to dump one for a "reasonable" cost to a fellow CEG'r who needs a DD??




dude - thats amazing - two cars!!! WOW~~


(and I am serious about the dumpage idea . . .)

That's awesome, Randy! Congrats!

D@MN, Wish I had that kind of luck. Congrats! I buy one for $36, that would double you investment. J/K

Oh man, right on! That's pretty lucky

whoa whoa whoa, you wanna give me one of those bad boys for like $500? i could use it all winter!

better yet, can i rent it from you over the winter? then you can sell it later and still get your money?

awesome luck dude, looks like you can get HIDs!

Well 5 cars in the driveway now. Dang, I look like a won the lotto and went getto ! lol
So many options, both cars run top notch, unreal good to be honest. Got them both home for $200 dollars. A $100 a car, that includes the tickets to the game. Insurance is $33 a car a month, not bad. They even had a full tank of gas !
So help me out:

A. Keep the cars and use them as DD.
B. Sell them both and pay off debit. (which I have amount)
C. Sell them both and use them and the GSX or SVT as down on a GTO or STI.
D. Keep one for a DD and sell the other and do 1 of the above.
E. Sell both and get a used DD that I would enjoy.

My car is white and pretty clean, some scraps on the bumpers and such and a little hail damage. Headlights are the worse I have ever seen, I am wet sanding tomorrow. Great DD I think, down side, A/C not working.

Jesses car is great, A/C works, has a sunroof but 30k more miles then mine. and the worse part, the dang car is Purple. lol But hey . . . It was a $100. Any advise would be helpful, I have 60 days till the temp tags are up. Thats my deadline. -B.

like I said - I would give you (well - lets face it - basically nothing ) money for one of them as a DD . . .

Do some wicked-sweet husband/wife smash 'em up demolition durby/ ralley race in the desert!!!!!!!

Personally, I'd see it as a "come up" and sell both of them to pay off some debt. Maybe keep one for a beater.

Randy, you lucky SOB


Congrats!
