Ed always dreamed of owning a Ruf car. When he finally got the chance, it didn't live up to the expectation.

"Got to about 186mph so I was disappointed" Best line ever.

@shananagans5 6 жыл бұрын

lol Well, you get an expectation in your mind & it's disappointing when something falls short. Back in the late 80's my aunt had a Mercedes Hammer that was supposed to hit 185+. My cousin & I got it to a track & measured it at 171.72. That was still an amazing number for the 80's but we had our hearts set on 185 & it fell far short of that.

I once bought a old datsun from a police auction for $50 after fees I parked it at my house, a van backed into it. Her insurance came over (allstate) and said it would cost more to fix that it's worth, I said any running car is worth $500 and I could fix it for that. He cut me a $500 check on the spot. I sold the car 2 weeks later for $500 and financed $400 of it, repossessed it 6 months later, sold it for $500 again, repossessed it 3 months later. Sold it to my neighbor who wanted to know if it floats.... $250 cash and he sank it. Loved that old car. Hahaha

When I had the car on jacks I saw a titanium sport-catback. Removed it, cleaned it and sold it on the Dutch marketplace for 700 euro’s. Swaped it for a stainless steel one. I placed the car on the marketplace and sold it for 2650 euro’s. Sold it for a total of 3350 euro’s made around 2900 euro’s. (Btw it was my first car).
