[urq] Gobi beige urq FS @ local garage

[Ed Kellock]

I just heard about someone locally who bought a Z8 for around 102k.  It was sold because the previous owner bought it in Michigan and drove it out this way, but only at night in the early hours of the morning due to fear of getting hit in it.  Supposedly it "scared the hell out of him".  What a shame to be so fearful to not be able to enjoy life.

I think (well I know) what Dennis meant is that if a car reaches a
stratospheric value, then most
people are afraid to drive it for fear of getting in a wreck, etc....Kinda
like all the people
 who don't drive their Ferraris for fear of a wreck, door dings, etc.....
...a shame.....
