New Porsche

A fifteen year-old boy came home with a late-model Porsche and his parents began to yell and scream, "Where did you get that car???!!!" He calmly told them, "I bought it today." "With what money?" demanded his parents. "We know what a Porsche costs." "Well," said the boy, "this one cost me fifteen dollars."

So the parents began to yell even louder. "Who would sell a car like that for fifteen dollars?" they said. "It was the lady up the street," said the boy. "I don't know her name---they just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for fifteen dollars."
"Oh, Mercy," moaned the mother, "she must be a child abuser. Who knows what she will do! next? John, you go right up there and see what's going on."

So the boy's father walked up the street to the lady lived and found her out in the yard calmly planting petunias! He introduced himself as the father of the boy to whom she had sold a Porsche for fifteen dollars and demanded to know why she did it.

"Well," she said, "this morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn't intend to come back. He asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So I did."
 
lol I have actually heard this story, or at least a varriation of it many times....somewhat of an urban ledgend....so much so that I am sure that SOMEWHERE.....a scorned woman has actually done this...lol

the closest I have seen get to this was when I was in the service and I was stationed in Washington State.....a good friend of mine was from there and it was like going home for him.....one sunday he called me and ask if I would go with him to check out a car he saw in the paper....Jerry was/is a ford nut....the add simply said 1969 ford, like new, make an offer. When we got there the lady took us out to the garage and opened the door.....oh btw...this was 1980.....anyway.....there was a car that was covered with a homemade cover, it was bedsheets sewen together....she pulled the cover off and to our amazement there sat a 1969 Ford GT500 Mustang.....and to top it off it was RED with White stripes...AND a CONVERTIBLE!!!....the car was up on jackstands and the wheels were neatly stacked by the wall......The lady just wanted to get rid of it.....it was her late husbands car...and she just didn't want it around anymore......my buddy offered her $7000 and she took it!! OMG that car was a rare find...and so clean...it only had a little over 5000 miles on it.....my buddy Jerry kept it for about a year...only drove it on sunny days.....and took it to an auction down in Portland at their big AUTORAMA car show...and it sold for $25000!!! talk about a profit! ......
 
I think we all know an urban legend story like that, but its always a freinds sisters freind of a friend of a freind. and many numbers that should be thousands turn into hundreds real easy. The best one I know personal is a good freind of mine bought a ? '99 yamaha yzf600 ?(not to sure about crotch rockets) at the time its value was 6000-6500 and he picked it up for 3300. Not a bad deal if you ask me. The thing that tops it off though is the seller sold it cheap so he could help rice out his wife's civic.

Go figure:rolleyes:
