OH MY...look what happened to my GT4..HORRORS

You think your Ferrari got wet, you should talk to Felipe Massa today...

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooooo sorry to hear this Dave! How are you going to handle the diminished value? The unbelievable amount of rust that is certainly coming your way? What will people say?

JIM
<grin>

 

I feel your pain!

It only got wet on the topsides, which look adequately protected by wax. At least you didn't have to actually drive it on... A WET ROAD (the horror!)

 

Crap. Respray maybe?

 

Oh yeah...that too!
LOL!

 

Feeling your pain, I'll give you $12K for right now. You won't even have to dry it off.

 

$12.5K


PS: Then I can sell mine to Tillman and still use Phylotic generous offer to get the Carobu car!

 

$12.6K

 

All I can say is that atleast mine only got crashed into...Rain, now that's a whole different story. Better take that $12.6K offer Dave, that may be as good as it gets.! LOL!

 

$12,650.00

Gawd! We're cheap bastard's, aren't we?

 

$12,655.00

Hey, it's only a 'parts car'...

 

True enough!

$12,655.50!

Of course, if it was a "real" Dino....

 

Dave,

We all feel for you!

I certainly hope that that... dare I say it?.... rain.... did fall on your now lump of rust when it was parked on the driveway??

I mean, you didn't actually DRIVE through that wet stuff, now did you???

Oh horror, the thought of what that must have done to your windshield wipers!!!!

P.S. I feel a "most obnoxious GT4 photo" competition coming up. May I try to get second place (after the truly obnoxious photo that started this thread)???

December 30, on a ferry between Venice and Lido (Italy), after just having crossed the Alps in the snow. Yes, that's road salt....

Hans,

I'll be parting the car out after the sale. Do you need a set of used wipers?

 

GEEZ, Dave. I'm so sorry for you. But look on the bright side. you couldda gone inside for a few minutes in Colorado, and been hit with hail, then sun, and the melted hail on your hood looking like rain drops... only to dry it off, and find that the rain drops were just the melt hail inside the divots left by the pelting hailstorm.

So, rain ain't so bad.

Two years ago in July I went to the Pikes Peak Hillclimb with my then M5. All the pickup truck guys laughed at me as I covered my car with two covers (one padded, and one exterior waterproof all while the sun was out in the early morning. By the mid afternoon, clouds rolled in so thick that you couldnt find your way back off the mountain (approx 14,000 feet)... lightning followed inside the clouds (which you were in the middle of, unprotected), hail began and changed to heavy corn-snow. About four inches fell. Luckily I snuck inside the car underneath the cover for about an hour listening to the other cars get pelted.

After the storm passed, we all had to wait it out while they got the snowplows up the hill after the partial hillclimb race (it was canceled to the top, and they only ran half way).

My pickup truck buddies were awfully silent after that.

Now, I ALWAY carry a car cover to protect from disasters like yours. Just glad you were OK.

DSTACY: That's actually a VERY COOL picture in the opening post!

 

Oh well, another nice GT4 down the drain...

If I were you, I'd just accept the $12k and change. You might also consider parting it out, but it depends on how much rain you got. If just the shell is ruined, you could still sell off the engine, chasis, etc. DId the wheels get wet too? If so, total loss on those. Damn Rain.


Thanks for the Sunday Funny.

Dom

 

DO NOT encourage him while we are in the process of dismantling his car!!!
Now he is going to think he can keep it or something...
Dave, I'll go 12,655.95...that's one helluva offer for basically a 'totalled' car...


Who leaves thier GT4 in the rain anyway?




Thanks for the entertainment!

JIM

 

Let's be realistic about this....he's going to have to knock off at least another 4-5K for the salvage title

 

That is why Dave should quickly realize that we are being V E R Y generous with our offers......
