    If that was a Hatch, I'd be on my way to Garland.

    I sent the link to a friend in California that has restored a few old Toyotas... He seemed to think it wasn't worth it. He said he has picked up 2 nice ones in the last few years by cruising hospital parking lots.

    That's just COLD!

    Ya know... you might not make it... and you have big hospital bills. You don't want to leave your loved ones with all that debt. I can help you with some of that debt by buying your car...

    Nope... just a good place to find gently used classics who's owners rarely drive anywhere but church, the grocery store, and the hospital, and are often at the point where they are already considering giving up driving. Being friendly and polite, telling them something like "That sure is a neat old car, and you really have taken great care of. I've always wanted to get one of those for a weekend driver." is sometimes all it takes. While I have never actually gone cruising parking lots, I always try to make my feelings known to the owners of special cars that I would love to own. It may take years to turn in to a potential deal, but a fair many will get there at some point if you have made an impression.

    Nah... I have been on the other side of it before and it is usually very flattering to have someone tell you they love your car and want you to call them if you ever consider selling it.
