Buying a car on the internet

[FleetsidePaul]

I'm about to do something stupid. (Not my first rodeo).

Car prices seem low right now and I've always wanted a 911 Porsche. The big thing is that there are none around here. There's nothing around here. So I need to go to the net. Which involves shipping and all that. But I think it's a buyers market with all this craziness going on. So I have to think. Do I roll the dice. Take a shot. I've already got the green light from my wife. I think she just wants me to shut up about it.

A little history. I tried to buy a beautiful black 911 when I was about 20 for a whopping $6000. But I didn't have the credit. I had a good job. I was making good money. I could have paid for it easily. But I hadn't established any credit yet. I was only 20 years old. I asked my dad to co-sign for me.

He flat turned me down and told me to buy a new car. Not some old car. That was one of the few, if only the one time that we really locked horns. He didn't get my perspective and I didn't see his. I always got along with my dad. And I couldn't believe it when he shut me down when I had it covered.

Fast forward many decades. I'm going to try and get one again. I guess it's been chewing at me all these years. But I won't see it until it shows up and I've already paid for it. That kind of scares me. It's an expensive car. It gives me cold feet. I guess I'm just afraid to jump in to the deep end of the pool.

It's funny. I met my wife on the internet. I bought my houses on the net. And those worked out extremely well. But this one scares me. I like to kick the tires. And I do not travel well. So I'm not going anywhere. It get's delivered.

I just have to figure out where to park it. I'm out of room. Like I said I'm not too bright.
