Mallett V

[The Tony Show]

^ That's just wrong.


LunarX- congrats on a vicious ride. Make sure to post up some pics and vids, and for god's sake put a 90mm FAST on that thing as soon as possible!

[atdeneve]

Oh, pish posh. He'll get over it.

I'll PM you the info I have so far.
Thanks

If anyone else is also able to lend an eye, it would be appreciated.

Awesome, I know the car has found a great home. Now get that beast out on the track and kick the snot out of everything else out there.

I'll be sure to keep all of you posted on just how much of a beast the car is.
It should be a real fun ride.

I have Mike to thank for the scoop on the car.
It's definetly a deal that was too good to pass up.

So atdeneve how close are you to PA?
Do PM me if you are within a resonable distance.
I think you have convinced me that I should plan a trip out that way soon.

Huh??? THAT certainly did wonders for its resale value!! Mullet makes a good car, but he has always been ridiculously priced. That package should have been $25K tops when it was new!

[atdeneve]

If it was around Philly, it'd be a hop, skip, and a jump on over there. And I would be there as we speak. But it's out by Pittsburgh, a lil over 360 miles west of me. Maybe 5-6 hours.

Tell you what, I'll go check it out and then bring it back round my place for safe keeping. How's that sound? Wait, ya think he'll sell it to me if I drop by his doorstep with 50 in cash at hand? Whaddayathink? Me? I tink so! Yah, ah dew.
Uh-oh. Duuuhn duwit, Andre.
Nhhoooe, ees ghud. Dew eet! Dew weet, mehn!
Nho, duhn duwit.
Andele, andele, arriba, arriba! Jas dew eet mahn! Uuuh, uKay.

The only people to blame for our resale value problems are the folks staffing/training the Dealer Service Departments (Lindsay Excluded).
If they would have just taken care of their customers the V would never have got a bad rap from frustrated owners.
Fears of service department nightmares are what make people reluctant to buy used V's, as frustrated owners continue to dump them.

We know these are great cars but just need attention from competent mechanics on ocassion.
If GM gets past this hurdle they could dominate again.
Oh well enough dreaming.

Sorry Atdeneve, I'm about 75 miles east of the Pittsburgh area. I'll pick it up for Lunarx and drive it to SoCal. Then I can visit with all my old buddies while I'm out there. Uh-h... that is just as soon as Lunarx sends me a credit card to pay for the gas.

I tend to agree with you on the CTS-V, but I would also say that GM has a systemic issue with depreciation on all of its cars.
Best of luck with the new Mullett V.

Lunarx, congratulations! You got a great car. Now, when you said you were off to meet with Roger Waters, were you talking about the Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame? I had to ask.

[lunarx]

Yes, Roger Waters concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
I wouldn't say I met him but did catch a great show.

Yesterday, was a very good day.

Unfortunately, it's not in the cards for me. My parents shipped me their '77 Corvette with 28K miles that has been sitting in their garage for 30 years. Great shape, but.....anything made of rubber or plastic (except the interior) is shot. And if it's got a seal in it, it's leaking. My wife is wringing my neck on the bucks I'm spending just to get it driveable. And I just ordered a Corsa for the V (which she doesn't know about, yet).

I plan to keep in touch with the Mallett guy in case it doesn't sell.

Are we still on for the end of the month?

Send me $1 million fast, and I will not tell wife about Corsa. No pennies, please. Hell, you won't send pennies; you could not afford the shipping.
