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.

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?"

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.

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