I get dibs on the trailer if TPR ends up headquartering in Ely.<br><br>Sorry to hear about the deal in Portland, it was a nice looking place.<br><br>Asa Jay<br><br>Quoting Mad Dog Antenucci <<a ymailto="mailto:teampantera@yahoo.com" href="mailto:teampantera@yahoo.com">teampantera@yahoo.com</a>>:<br><br>> I'm back and I am MAD as hell and I plan to piss on some Corvette <br>> tires when I<br>> get to Ely in May.<br>><br>> AJ - I second JB's comments - thanks homey.<br>><br>> You let the slackers know on the De Tomaso List I have more money then I know<br>> what to do with and I may sponsor anyone who can go faster then me <br>> on the road<br>> course with a street licensed Pantera. ;-]><br>> =====================================================<br>><br>> The rest of this is for TPR members only...<br>><br>><br>> JB and I are gonna fly later this month or early next month
over <br>> the Sierra's<br>> to Ely to check out man caves for sale.<br>> My deal in Portland is dead. Gonna work for next 6 weeks here. The bank<br>> approved our loan application but the final underwriter review killed the<br>> deal.....<br>><br>> First it was they wanted 6 months cash reserve for EACH property and <br>> we met that<br>> okay......then they wanted employment verification and additional updated<br>> statements and they got that as well and the president of the company I work<br>> for called them himself to support my loan....but in the end the <br>> underwriter and<br>> a second underwriter said they were not comfortable (whatever the hell that<br>> means) with my contract employment. Maybe we will have better luck <br>> in Ely then<br>> we did the last two times we tried to buy there....I hear property <br>> values
have<br>> dropped. And I am pretty sure I would be happier in a second home where I can<br>> regularly drive 5 minutes to the start line instead of 11-12 hours <br>> from the west<br>> coast.<br>><br>> There is an interesting story you guys will think is something I <br>> made up but its<br>> too gawd dam real not to be true. And here is the story on the 2nd house we<br>> tried to buy. Oh yea the first house JB and I tried to buy the <br>> old lady who<br>> owned it turned down our offer about 5 years ago.<br>><br>> And this last time, JB flew up with Chuck "Bulldog" Brown to Ely as <br>> JB was once<br>> again running one of the course planes for Silver State which he has done<br>> several times in the past while he was still working on his gay Pantera Kirk<br>> firewall or some other bogus excuse. ;-]><br>><br>> At any rate we looked
at a 4-bedroom house 2 years ago that had a <br>> detached 3<br>> car garage with a SHOP that included an 85 year old 10 ton hoist and <br>> a finished<br>> meat locker in the basement of the house. There are allot of deer and elk<br>> hunters in Ely and the previous owners were avid hunters before they <br>> died. All<br>> the walls of the shop and garage were covered with trophy<br>> antlers.....Unfortunately for us the sale turned out to be a cat <br>> fight between<br>> the relatives of the couple who died in the house and here's how <br>> they died.....<br>><br>> The husband took his wife down stairs to the meat locker and blew her brains<br>> out.......then he blew his brains out. In a last will the wife left <br>> her guns to<br>> her boyfriend....yea go figure.<br>><br>> The meat locker had stainless steel walls and
the finished and <br>> sealed concrete<br>> floor of the meat locker were in perfect condition...Yea there were <br>> meat hooks<br>> and a overhead hoist.<br>><br>> However when we walked outside again JB (only a cop would think of <br>> this) pointed<br>> to 3-4 places in the back yard that seemed much greener then the rest of the<br>> yard....yea shaped like maybe there were bruied bodies......you <br>> might have one<br>> septic tank but not 3-4.....So I looked at JB (Cool-hand-luke) and I said,<br>><br>> "Are you okay with how this looks?"<br>><br>> JB looked at me with a straight cop face and said something like,<br>><br>> "Yea I am okay...are YOU okay?"<br>><br>> "I said okay with what?" ;-]><br>><br>> JB laughed again and said, "we're gonna have to get a backhoe and dig up the<br>> back yard eventually....but it can wait until after we
buy the place <more<br>> laughs>...besides we will be spending all our time in the shop and garage"<br>><br>> The rest of the story is boring but bottom line is we didn't get <br>> the place. So<br>> now we're gonna go back and try again.<br>><br>> P.S. The last time we flew over the Sierra's we ran into a storm.....JB said,<br>><br>> "You see that little hole between those clouds in the thunder storm ahead of<br>> us?"<br>><br>> I said, "yea, I see it, why?"<br>><br>> JB says, "well we have to fly through that hole before it closes or we gotta<br>> divert our flight....blah-blah"<br>><br>> With credit to JB's very competent and cool piloting skills and my rosary<br>> beads, cross, and Latin prayers we got through the storm okay in between JB<br>> telling me to "SHUT THE FOKK UP".....<br>><br>> OKAY, the last part I made up but interestingly enough the rest of
<br>> this story is<br>> the truth.<br>><br>> So it always comes down to this....Just think how nice it would be <br>> to drive or<br>> tow your Pantera or your Ford GT40 up to Ely and park it and you <br>> can drink beer<br>> and play with your ride in the garage. No more parking lot repairs.<br>><br>> PS....But, if its a Corvette your gonna have to park it across the <br>> street and<br>> JB and I have allot of friends with Corvettes but I gotta say you still gotta<br>> park across the street.....unless you show up with party favors and you know<br>> what I am talkin bout!<br>><br>> 18 hours of flight time yesterday and I need to brew another pot of coffee.<br>><br>> "If you're not on the edge you're taking up space"<br>><br>><br>> Mad Dawg Antenucci<br>> Team Pantera Racing<br>> The 1st & still the only vintage race team in open road
