Hypothetical question guys & gals Reply #16 – May 21, 2009, 10:58:31 AM Ok well before I offer it for sale I will send you a note to see if he is still interested. Since it would be going to a fellow enthusiast it would be very cheap, actually lets not use the word cheap as that sounds bad, it would be very cost effective. I used to work with guys that went thru those type of tech schools. He should see if he can hook up with a manufacturer. The guys I know had the schooling reimbursed thru Mercedes as long as they agreed to stay on with a dealership for a certain amount of time. They also helped get them placed in dealerships.

Hypothetical question guys & gals Reply #20 – May 24, 2009, 08:06:29 AM At least his first car would be something he is passionate about. My first car got beaten like it owed me money. Quote Selected
Hypothetical question guys & gals Reply #21 – May 24, 2009, 09:58:24 AM Don't feel too bad, I had it worse at one point. I was promised a car, Porsche 924, if I got good grades. My grades came up, honor roll, then my father sold the car. Quote Selected

This was something he and his father had worked on together, I'm sure there were good memories/bonding during the resto of the car and maybe now it all seems to kinda have gone down the drain for him......not saying your situation didn't suck ( as I would have been ripped too) Quote Selected

Money / work has been an issue in our family as times move on and I have always made good on promises. One promise i did fall out on was getting the boys and I 4wheelers. The wife wont have any of that. So,,,, I take the heat from the boys once in a while. Quote Selected

Was my first car and I couldnt have asked for anything more from a $400 car. Best choice I ever made was keeping it. Quote Selected
