Dave,
How did you find a Phoord for sale ad? I never find or look them ;-)
Or Shivvys either =)

Nope, if I buy third car, I would be drowned in taxes. Two cars are enough
in Finland, I am almost drowned just now... (Also, we can not buy project
cars from another countries anymore. When registering that car, I have to
pay taxes from my own work of restoration which I did myself to it... And
only 25% of parts could be swapped during restoration. If that 25% exceeds,
I have to pay say over $10,000 taxes counted from the price of equal value
new car! I'm lucky, I restored my DeSoto in the beginning of this decade,
when everything was OK. How about same in the States?? What would you say?
Ugh!)

One car is not enough...two cars are not enough...three cars are not
enough...hey, I would like to own that car too...I can not sell my
babies... and so on.
Marko
FIN
PS. Let's cruise now buddies, gas cost only $3.60 gallon...(75% taxes)
C'mon!
