Dont you just love it

Post by dstocks »

Dont you just love it when someone vastly overestimates the value of your FTO.

Had that happen to me again this morning. I love the look on their face when you tell them how much you can pick them up for

Although in a way I guess I shouldnt be too happy about that....

    I get it everyday at work....I work at a depot with a lot of blue collar workers, so when they come putting through the office past my desk comments of "we pay you too much pencil pusher" and "when's daddy getting his car back" float my way. :lol:

    Not sure where I got this figure but am I right in saying the FTO as a brand new car was a $AUD100k?

    I went to the local shopping centre and as I was parking a 9ish year old girl stopped and stared 8O
    When I got out of the car she said "nice car" :oops:

    The GTO was not even $100k when it was new, so i doubt the FTO was, anyway I think James is on the correct figure here, from memory it was around $50-$55k
