Ahhhh....Ann, thanks for thinking of me, my dear!

That certainly is an AWESOME find. I know we've been discussing it on some of my automotive websites ... and it is just amazing.

I sure would love to see those cars in person. I don't care how bad they look ... I'd be more than happy to try to clean 'em up . He he!

Still an interesting find. Several years ago, a fellow here in Georgia passed away. He owned a car dealership before he retired. People thought he had kept a few cars but if I remember right they found 15 to 20 brand new vehicles in an old barn. Most had only the miles it took to drive them from the dealership to the barn. Story goes that he would have a car come in that struck his fancy and would buy it for himself and put it in the barn. Never got around to driving them.

May God Bless,

Danny

I know, Danny. I just thought Cort would enjoy it. I get a newsletter every week from Snopes to keep me up on myths.

Yeah yeah ... we know all about it...sadly enough.

BUT ... it did spark some very interesting conversations, nonetheless ... and, yes, I did enjoy it . he he

Amazing! Now where did he leave the keys?!?

Danny - I nearly always check the urban legends sites when I get an unusual email but wouldn't have thought of it this time; thanks for the info.
