Okay, for those aware of Bring a Trailer, I now bring you Don't Bring a Trailer. That's right, stuff currently for sale that nobody should be considering purchase of. Sure, it'll be interesting stuff, but buy it? Not unless you win the lottery and want your friends to laugh at you!

It's in the very early stages, but I thought it would be a fun little project. I'll have a submission link up for folks to submit stuff soon, too. But it needs to be stuff currently available for sale, not just anything crazy.

Unless the Bring a Trailer folks decide to shut me down, well, I'll be expanding it over time. eBay alone seems to be good for a regular stream of this stuff, and if folks start submitting similar stuff from Craigslist, well, there's no end to it (I'm afraid!).

That's pretty good Donnie. I will try to find a few 914 related "gems" for you. It seems that over the years there have been a few custom 914s created that lets just say are... Hideous. Take a car that generally already has "you love it or hate it" styling and then make it worse.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Very timely, considering the discussion of bus needs at the meeting tonight.. last night.... I'm up too late.

Now http://bringatrailer.com/2009/08/12/par ... xcellence/ is awesome. Would someone who's been in the club even longer than me (Neal, Charlie, Mark, Mark, Mike) like to offer up a Vance Swift story?

Awesome Donnie! The Nomad is a crime against nature. Somebody should do hard time for that.

Okay, a few tweaks to the blog itself and an update or two since I announced it. Starting to look presentable, but I've got much more in store for it over the next few weeks. Just need to keep the content rolling in.
