    Well the story kinda starts like this -

    When I was about 12 or so (give or take a couple years) I had come across this ad, not sure which car magazine it was in, and I was just thrilled to death when I saw it. So, I decided to draw the car in this ad as shown to large size that right now I can't remember. I can't even remember what happened to it.

    Next part of the story -

    I came across this Poster Ad couple years back when I went to Washington. But, Like an idiot, I didn't buy it. So ever since then I have been trying to get it. My In-Laws have a future retirement home in the area and I have been asking them when they go up there to check this place to see if it is open and to try to get this poster. Of course every time they went the place was NOT OPEN. Then my wife has gone up with her Mother, Grandmother & Uncle on one occasion and of course the same thing. NOT OPEN. My wife has also been up with her BFF and the last time it was NOT OPEN. But Finally, my wife went up again with her BFF (I couldn't get the time off from work) last month. So, I asked her to try again to see if this place was open. Well, While at work she calls me and asks me specifically what this poster was to see if it was there. She then tells me they have "They Yellow Porsche one". I told her "No I don't want that one". Well she then says she will see what other stuff the place has that I might want and hangs up. When she gets home she doesn't really tell me what she found at this place, so I didn't think they had it. Well They Did. HERE IT IS!

    If I remember right, The poster was $15. Not sure if that is what the wife paid for it though. I'm just happy she bought it.
