It’s Exotic Car Week, Push The M.G. Out To The Street

and put a “For Sale” sign on it. A fool and his money . . .

Carfax Report

In a July 6 lawsuit, Bellevue, Wash., resident Todd Lozier claims RM Auctions and Monterey Auction Co. misrepresented the 1968 Shelby GT500 KR fastback when it was placed up for auction at the Monterey Conference Center Aug. 14, 2009.

Lozier contends the car is worth between $30,000 and $50,000 less than he paid for it. The engine block, transmission and other parts were not properly date-code stamped and rather bear dates “that prove they are not original and do not belong on this vehicle,” Lozier’s lawsuit says.

If this fool was willing to part with $100,000 on an old car, why didn’t he get a CarFax or something. Pay a mechanic to look at it. Heck get an uncle that knows more about cars than the car crazy rich guy does. I side with the auction house on this one.

Monarchs Don’t Spend Money In P.G., How Do We Attract Them?

When the butterflies don’t have a trolley or signs guiding them from the beach to 17 Mile drive, someone steps in to help.
Butterfly Tree Stump

To help boost butterfly numbers this year, Pacelli and other P.G. residents and butterfly enthusiasts are buying boxed trees to temporarily fill the gaps and provide wind breaks.

One tree is already placed, but the group aims to add about 20 more by the end of September, in time for the monarchs’ October arrival. They ask supporters to send donations with a note marked “Monarch Habitat Trees” to: P.G. Chamber of Commerce, 584 Central Ave., Pacific Grove, CA 93950.
