[DeTomaso] if only . . . .

[hoppe1]

I have a pantera content story.  In 1980 I had $20k and stood on Shea blvd 
in scottsdale Az looking at 40 acres of desert land that a friend of mine 
wanted to buy with me as an investment.
I had been looking at cars for 2 years to buy a pantera.  Well the short 
story is I  used the money to buy the pantera.  Next to the pantera was a 
real 427 cobra for sale for another 25k.
 I don't regret it, but had I bought the land that now sits next to the Mayo 
Clinic I could have been retired.

But I am still married to the same woman that said buy the car and still own 
and enyoy the pantera.  True story
