Location: Southern California | I remember this sign when it was first uncovered a few years ago. Nice find and a nice restoration. Definitely worth $3500 |

Location: Big pimpin' | Wouldn't mind havin' it, but as stated, $3500.00 is alot of coin for a sign..But then again, he's looking for a collector, not a hobbiest..

Location: Parts Unknown | I used to listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio when back stateside .... his financial
advice oft-times was to callers, "You don't have a spending problem, you have an
INCOME problem!".
I guess it is all a matter of priorities for the individual, but we all can tear through
35 bennies in short order. If this was "the ticket" to put a smile on someone's face,
coming up with the dough would "just happen". I'd rather be at home right now with
my wife, dog, cats, and cars. But living the way I want to live, I didn't have a spending
problem, I had an INCOME problem, and I did what I had to do to fix that problem ...
because that was MY personal priority.
I see a lot of people who limit their vision of possibilities to what they know, never
thinking outside of the familiar. I used to be one of them. In a few years I'll be back
and money will never be an issue again, cool signs or not.

I hope you will be completely set after your tour.
I worked in the mines here for about ten years trying to set myself up and it has sort of worked, I own my own business, me and the banks own 2 houses
but I would love to have more. It seems the more you have the more you need, but thats me i guess.
As for the sign, yes it would look good here as well but i would then need a desoto to complete the dealership
Anyone wanna donate one?

*********************************
Who is facing a bankruptcy ? ... or how did bankruptcy even enter into this ?
I'm just saying (or relaying what I thought was good advice), one can look outside
their paradigm to find answers. I spent most of my life thinking I could not afford a
lot of stuff. Now I see it more as a matter of priorities. If something is important
enough, we can find a way. Conversely, maybe it isn't THAT important to make the
effort / sacrifice ?
Just a different way of looking at things.

Location: Big pimpin' | Meaning, If I spent that kinda money just cause it was what "Floated my boat", I'd prolly be like the rest of the country and have to take bankruptcy to cover all my many frivilous spending habits.. |
