UNBELIEVABLE LUCK! Are you some sweet Mother Teressa type or did you just step
in it? Either way...who cares. Congratulations! That is like winning the
Roadster Lottery. One time I had a nice neighbor lady give me a green, 1947
Chrysler. I could have converted the sucker into a condominium or a garage for
my roadster (it was huge, weighed three tons, but it ran). Sold it for $75.
