Thinking of Selling the Dangermobile ?

[Steve Tinker]

JD - I sympathise with you.....

Many years ago when I was working in South Africa, I lived on a dirt road - about a mile from the tar. At the time I was (apart from my company car) running my pride and joy, a rather nice Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV and a Velocette MSS classic motorcycle. When we bought the house, the road really didn't register with me regarding the downside of driving the Alfa and Velo on dirt.....

But it wasn't long before reality struck - driving a classic car or bike on a dirt road is the pits - add in holes that can swallow your suspension in one go, gravel that ruins your paintwork / windscreen and the local 4WD idiots who are determined to overtake you no matter what.......
In the end, I really didn't want to take the car and bike out of the garage. It was just too much hassle and the driving pleasure was outweighed by the problems described....

So I can relate to your conundrum, tho' I don't have an answer.....

When I'm looking at a house to buy I start in the garage & work my way out to the driveway & then surrounding streets for about a mile to see if I can get thru the maze without getting dirty on a daily basis. Speedbreakers are dealbreakers! :chicken:

Add 500 feet of elevation gain, routine washout, downed trees and branches and Bigfoot's
feces to all of that and you have my road.

If you do decide to sell, two questions:

1) Are you pricing this with Chaz Bono's face planted on the hood?
2) Without the Dangermobile, will you be changing your name to Johnny Insecurity?

I'm too insecure to give up Chaz. Without the Dangermobile I'll need his/her support.

You sure your in the US and not the Amazon Jungle! When we still had our ranch in NM (many years ago) it was always an issue getting to the road and then into town so I feel your pain...
