Counting Solicitors....

[Steve P.]

We have had this discussion a million times about people walking up and knocking on your door and trying to buy your car. Well, this is a million and one! Only tonight was a bit different. One of our long time members and hosts of many MOPARS AT THE STRIP parties, VegasMike, was once again approached. Only this time it was a bit different. Take a look who showed up at his door.

[Steve P.]

Yeah, I know. You were expecting Father Guido Sarducci....   

[Mopar Nut]

Did he bring one hundred dollar bills?

[Steve P.]

I don't know but we are too close to the MATS for Mike to sell it now!! hahaha... Besides, he never sells till they are done and he's had some seat time.. 

[vegasmike]

They caught me at beer 30. I hope I didn't embarrass myself..

[Cooter]

"Hey brother, uh, I couldn't help but notice you gotta sweet old Mopar in your garage. I'm a 'Mopar guy' myself.
you ever thought about selling bro?"

Vegasmike: "no, not really man. Hey ain't you that guy on counting crows or something?"
Danny: "yeah, lol, somethin like that bro. Anyway man, you thinking bout parting with it?"
Vegasmike. "Everything's for sale. Asking $30k"
Danny "awe bro, I can't do that much. Would ya take $12k?"

[6spd68]

That's awesome!  How did they actually approach you?  I can't see it being exactly how the show makes it out to be.

[Steve P.]

Beer 30?? I think BEER 30 was a few hours before that!!! lol....

I don't know if he can tell all of you the same story he told me!!! hahahahahahaaa...

There is definitely staging going on. I wanna know how many takes it took for them to NOT get an F-Bomb?? 

Mike's sense of humor reaches new heights when he's slamming beers.

 Steve, is this Mikes car?

I saw the photo on the Count's web site. In the other photos the roof of the house look the same.

Fixed it for you.

Cool beans!

[Lord Warlock]

I watch that show.  They do seem to always get the cars for a really cheap price and then turn around and sell it for 15 grand more than I would expect to get out of one, usually without putting near that much into it.  He is fun to watch though, Like his show more than some of the other car shows on tv.

Nice, Mike! 
Are they gonna air that encounter on an episode?

[Steve P.]

Nope, Ken, that isn't it. MOst of the houses in Vegas have similar roofs.. lol...

Mike has a 69' Coronet.

[adauto]

Just a curiosity....... how bald is Danny??? 

[RallyeMike]

So spill the beans. How much of the "chance encounter" was scripted?

[Steve P.]

They really did spot the car and knock on the door. Mike didn't know them or speak to anyone about it. 

[Mopar Nut]

This is Mike's new ride.
