My wife likes this, but but actually wants a hearse, not a flower car.

I love the car, just looking on the carsandbids.com site at a local car and found this Q&A

Sorry for derailing the post. I don't hate B.A.T just disappointed that they didn't start another site instead of converting the original formula is all. Now are there some crazy batE36 M3 people asking stupid prices for thing's that don't warrant it. Then again like P.T Barnum said, There's a sucker born every day.

She needs to get a LaSalle hearse not because they are totally cool but because I've always wanted one but it never made sense to me to buy something that I'd only need one day in my life.  Can I borrow her's for that day?

You ain't thinking hard enough if you can't  think of more than one use for a station wagon with 8 feet of loading space! Except for plywood, you can do all kinds of truck stuff in a hearse AND make people think you're weird/edgy/other made up bullE36 M3

You can use a hearse more than once in a lifetime, trust me.

I got you and any other GRMer covered, as long as you're not afraid of the route we take to the graveyard.

Finding one is the hard part. I was beaten to a 30's LaSalle down in Georgia, and missed a really cool '62 Cadillac hearse down in Eastern NC. If I can find one that isn't rusty for a reasonable price, I'm interested.  Converting the coffin area into a living space (HAH!) / sleeping area is doable.

My wife grew up on her grandmother's farm.  Granny had a 1938 LaSalle 6 wheel hearse in the back, Trish recently learned it's still there.

Why are you wasting time on this flower car?  That effort should have been put into the LaSalle.

I have concerns.

"Georgia Bronco" texted asking for my home  mailing address.  I apprehensively I asked him to call me, he did.  1 + California phone number.  
I gave him my first name, again he asked for my address; I asked his name.  He said georgia bronco.  After a few tries I asked if that's the name his mother gave him.  Georgia bronco, that's it.  He sounds Asian and I'm uncomfortable.

what to do?  

I went to the local post office.  They said with a Postal Money Order the buyer has to walk into a PO with cash; it comes to my local Office who confirms the cash is there and I'm good.  Use your name and the post office address, it goes to the office for hold and you pick it up like a certified letter.

Is there a better way?

I politely told the Nigerians to get bent.  Hopefully one of the Watchers will step up.

Sorry but I just now noticed that you registered over at Modified Cadillac but activation was never completed.  That's a common issue we have so I manually activated you.  You should be able to log in and post there if you wish.  Again sorry about the delay.

No worries, some sites are not as active as GRM (believe it or not).
