I applied Rule #10

Rule 10 of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

...

Greed is Eternal

....

I collect Saturn cars - specifically SC2s. Why? I dunno - mom dropped me on my head one too many times as a kid? Whatever.

So I have wanted a 2001 - in yellow. They are somewhat scarce - and I have been beaten to the punch with someone else buying it before I did - by minutes in 2 cases.

I got one last fall -but it needs some body work.

Then I found another one on Craigslist - about 90 miles from me - for $350. Dirt cheap. It needs a bit of work - but nothing extensive - and I have the parts. 

I contacted the owner by email - and they said they already had someone coming at noon today.

I applied Rule #10. 

I offered $375.

They said to be there at 9 am... We were with a truck and a tow dolly.

The car is in remarkably good shape - and runs excellent. It's now in my driveway.

Ya gotta love the wisdom of the Grand Magus.

At least you don't collect Edsels.

Those are actually worth way more than the Saturns.


But a lot harder to find parts.

Still butt ugly at any price. I noticed this when I was in the first grade.

I sorta liked them. A great car by all accounts of those who owned one.

The first one I saw was on fire.

Not the sorta flame job you normally apply to look good....

I think it improved the Edsel's looks.

I'm just happy you don't collect P76's !

I think I have seen one here - ever.

Not many vehicles from Oz make it to this side of the lake.
