Ok, alittle story. I have a very good friend, who happens to be pretty well off. He has been working on moving over-sea's to Germany. Anyway, he is a car guy and has quite a bit of rides.
Well about 3 months ago I got a phone call from him saying he has a big, huge favor to ask of me. He goes on to tell me that he is not able to get a couple of cars on a ship to be sent over. He wanted to fly them but it was easier to get them on a ship and than trucked to his new house. I pretty much knew what he was gonna ask but acted like I had no idea what the favor was.
so he says :
Listen man, I hate to bother you but I am gonna leave a few cars behind for now but want them taken care of.
I say:
So what do you want me to do, come to "undisclosed place" and stay there to take care of them? You'd have to pay me good dude cause I'd have to leave work haha.
He says:
Nah man, I was wondering if I could have them trucked to your place and you could take care of them there. You know man, the usually maintance, cleaning and even driving. Just as long as you do not hurt them and the alike.
I say:
Wow, thats a favor alright.
He says:
I well have everything you well need to watch my babies. Got oil and filters and all that crap already. Heck I well even get a few gals of gas that can hold you over till I am ready to get them.
I say:
I think I can do it man. Just alittle on the fence ya know. What am I gonna be babysitting anyway? I hope you WRX and maybe that BMW.
He Says:
Oh no, Mr. 600(WRX nickname, HP rating) is going right away. Gotta kick some German ass and so is the Bimmer. I need you to look after my 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL500 and the little whimpy Sentra SE-R Spec-V.
So I agree to look after them. He almost bought a portable garage for me to store them but I said we have the space in the garage. Now I know some may say, a &^%*% Sentra! Yea, its pretty modified. Over 270 to the wheels. Awesome car.
So anyway, fast forward and the cars are here and I am doing everything I can to keep em the way they arrived because I do not want to do anything that well piss of friend cause I am scared of friend lol.
So fast forward to this weekend, Saturday to be exact. I am out washing MY car when my cell rings. I pick it up and its him.
Friend: hey man, how is it going(I answer the ?). Thats good man, its going great over here, how is the babies?(I answer). Thats awesome I knew I could count on ya. Listen man, I got bad news! ( I ask what). Well I am not sure how to pay ya, I mean you took care of 'em but it was all paid for to begin ya know? (I say its no problem, just having them here was enough).
Here is where I :q:q:q:q myself.
Well man, I have decided to come there and.... Give you the titles and keys and some other things because I have decided that you can keep 'em.
Total silence on my end.
You there man?...... Yea, ugh what do you mean?.... I mean I decided to let you take them. I didn't drive those a whole lot anymore and since they are paid for and I really do not want to have to ship them and worry so I figure I would give 'em to a great dude like yourself. You are free to do whatever to them, like sell or whatever. Just wanted to repay you for the past, yada yada!
I reply:
What the hell, that is awesome man but I do not know, this is completely unexpected. I am just shocked beyond belief.
Anyway, needless to say he was here Sunday w/ everything and now I am a proud owner of two sweet cars in their own rights. I know no one cares about the Sentra but the Mercedes, damn, its one fine car.
Here is the rundown on the 500SL:
5.0L V8 engine, automatic
Memory Seats
6 CD Changer, Cassette Player(who cares)
Auto Climate Ctl.
Outside Temp. Gauge
Fog/Driving Lamps
Anti-lock Brakes
Traction Control
Premium Wheels
Power Driver's Seat(memory)
Power Door Locks
Power Windows
Power Passenger Seat
Power Mirrors
Leather Seats
Interior Wood Trim
Remote Keyless Entry
Cruise
Premium Wheels
Hard and soft tops
Car has 25,639 miles. Of course it runs great and is also Red(just what I need, another red car). Working on photos, just gotta remember to put them up here.
Sorry about the long post probably could of left some stuff out but damn, I am excited about it. Probably going to just sell the SE-R. Its a badass ride but 4 cars, one being high class is kinda much so I could live w/out that one, besides already have one packet rocket and I know a guy who wants the SE-R really bad and he is like I am when it comes to taking care of cars.
