Everyone knows cash is king

 

Well the Tooth Fairy told me that the Easter Bunny told her that the Sandman saw JR & Santa Claus cruising around NC in this very car, so it must be the real deal

 

We'll you obviously have good contacts because the information about the sale of the Mini is confirmed on Dale Jr's web site with a link to the eBay auction. Now about Santa Claus, I've got some news to share with you.

Well if you read the ad only a $200 deposit is req'd to hold the Mini so I do believe the ad is real. If the $200 is sent via Paypal they can't even scam you out of that. If I was bidding & won I would put down a $200 deposit & hand a check to Dale Jr in person for the balance. I mean it would really take a high caliber of idiot to get scammed in this deal :impatient

What do I even care I'm not bidding on the dam Mini

 

What was it that P.T. Barnum had to say about this kind of stuff.....

 

Each & everyone, a personal friend of mine. If your going to tell me that there's no Santa, that old rumor has been going around for some time now, right up there with Paul McCartney dying in a car crash ( I heard it was a mini cooper S) Perception is not always reality......

 

For the folks too lazy to click:

No, not too lazy, I just don't care. I got mine, & if JR was smart he'd keep his as it's the best he'll ever own Once you've gone MCS you never go back....

 

I'm guessing he's got a new one on order or maybe like some of the other guys said he's not allowed to own it.
Someone should call and ask what he's "upgrading" to.

 

Man that would suck if your bow tie boss told you, you couldn't keep your MCS, like Mom telling you, you can't keep the puppy that followed you home

 

I asked them what Jr's upgrading to.
They said:

 

With JR's money, he's probably thinking about trading in his '02 moded MCS and possibly upgrade to an '06 or maybe the new '07 turbo charged MCS coming out. Who cares, he's rich.
If I was rolling in the doe like that id probably be bored of my 4 yeard old Mini and want something new and fresh too.
Who knows, maybe his hardcore country redneck friends are constantly making fun of his imported 'hoity toity' tiny car...so he wants to get rid of it...

 

..or get a mini 4x4?

 

looks like some people have too much time and money on their hands....

 

 

Your post made no reference to "money management" but that's beside the point. It's about being a celebrity and whether it's appropriate to sell something on ebay. Seems to me this is a great way for someone with name recognition to get top dollar (if that is their goal) for something. I would argue that it's things like this that help Jr's image as a "regular guy". T-shirt and jeans in the picture... The "stuck up" part is how that you somehow think it's inappropriate for a "celebrity" to engage in such behavior. Ebay? Shocking! Any self respecting celebrity (or their business manager, apparently) would never hear of such a thing!

Give me a break. It wasn't a "scam", it wasn't something celebrities "just don't do, period" and Jr just might be the antithesis of what you and your wife think is "approved behavior".

 

Nice segue.

 

I am not quite sure if i understand what all the bickering is about....JR is selling his car...who cares how/when/to who or how he acts as a celebrity. Does it really matter?
And whats this about "Real Racers"......they do road course racing in NASCAR as well @ Watkins Glen and Infineon.

 

I think it all started because some people thought it might be a scam.
..that and the NASCAR bashers

 

Yeah, I think my Dad had one of them there NASH Cars, wasn't very fast......

 

and you probably think that your MINI could take one of those not so fast NASCARs right???? Something about 700+ horsepower doesn't sound quite so slow to me.

 

Oh' NASCAR, never mind.....

 

I'm pretty sure the NASH car comment was a joke, ya know a play on words See the following-1953 Nash Rambler


NASCAR driver's car or not, that is one nasty looking MINI, but pretty much what you'd expect I guess. He probably bought it and said "let's trick it out" and turned it over to someone else to execute. Every one of those miles was probably put on by the people who worked on it, testing the mods etc.

Is it true he can only own Chevy stuff? How insecure is that on the part of Chevy if it's true. Now that's lame. If I were those execs I would want him to own a wide variety of cars, so the fact that he drove a Chevy as his "work" car would mean something. By owning nothing but GM type stuff it makes it look like he's having to choose one of their offerings, not that he's choosing it from everything else available.

Gotta run, El Kabong has promised cake for dessert, yum!

...and if so would it count if he stuffed a 350 in it?

 

You got it , I'm just trying to have a little fun. Life is far too important to take serious.... While you can darker days are comming.
