Both guys getting back to me.

We all wish that was true, bud.

One phoned back, he wants it. Not sold until he gives me $3300. I just want some space in my driveway for another car.

 

[fund razor]

Sweet.
Usually, they walk... they're gone.

Came back and offered $3300 for S500 and $2700 for 420SEL. I was going to sell one or the other, keep the one that didn't sell. But think if he'll come up to $3000 for 420SEL I'll sell both. Besides the Bentley I want an Acura NSX, problem is all the ones in Japan are right hand drive. Not very safe on our roads especially turning left in a left turn lane.

We only build American cars. At the auction in Japan, they do have some American cars go through but they are about the same prices as here.

Canadian financial institutions must issue cards with chips embedded on them. All businesses here have chip readers that you slide your credit card into and leave it until the transaction has been processed. They still have old fashioned swipe the magnetic strips readers. The cards also still have a magnetic strip on them. I was using my American credit card tonight and swiped it. Didn't work. Girl asks to see the card and try's inserting it into the chip reader. I tell her no chip and she starts looking over the card for one. She asked her manager for what to do next. It was kind of funny---we just swiped the card again and it worked.

We have the RFID chips here. We just aren't allowed to talk about it.

These are not RFID chips. They can only be read by a reader that you slide the card in. Its more secure then a magnetic stripe. You also need a pin even for a credit card. All of Europe has gone to them as well. Canada can still swipe magnetic strips Europe doesn't, so some American banks issue these cards for customers who travel to Europe.

Didn't know about some of the Japanese or VW German cars being built here. Never herd of the one Canadian manufacture who builds electric cars. Its all in Ontario, don't follow the rest of Canada outside of British Columbia. Have Direct TV so most of my news is American.

Interesting. Looks like we will have them soon enough, if we don't already:

Nice and sunny two days in a row here. Now got to see if my cars are sold. Then start bidding on the Bentley.

I thought Europe was embedded chip only now. Here merchants can do both. Banks started issuing the cards here about 2 years ago, so its basically been converted. Some gas stations pay at the pump are chip only.

The marina closest to my house used those until the mid 90's. That's the last time I've seen those.
