brush with greatness

So my father-in-law wanted me to go with him this weekend to look at a couple Jeep Wranglers he was thinking about buying. They were both located in a very rich area of Minnesota (Lake Minnetonka for anyone who knows MN.)

After driving the first one, he decided to take a look at the second to judge. So we pull up in the driveway at this really nice house on the lake. The house was nice, but I was drooling over the garage. It was a six car garage with doors for five, on the bottom level. The upstairs garage held five to six cars as well. Oh, the guy had an SS emblem set into one of the stone/cement pillars on the front.

After BSing with the guy for a little bit, we went into the garage to get some of the extras that were coming with the Jeep. The bottom floor had mirrored walls, heated floors, and cedar walls and ceiling. The bathroom in it was nicer than what I have in my house.

We headed upstairs to grab the soft top for the jeep. As I made my way across the carpeted floor lmy chin hit the floor. Sitting there in front of me, underneath a chandelere big enough for the White House, was a blue with white stripes, numbers matching, low mileage, 1969 Camaro Z/28 302 with a four speed.

He also had a '68 Camaro SS 350 that was beautiful, but he said that's just the car he takes out to beat on. He did a frame off on both of them. But he has only put 8 miles on the '69 since he had a frame off on it.

His driveway has a few burnout marks down it from the '68. Got to love a guy with money who knows how to play.

Harrass thepollock for pics. He took them on his phone. Its a Razor and he doesn't know how to get them off the phone onto the net.

if he has Verizon, then upload them to this site, then download them from his inbox once he creates his account using right click, save as... etc.

that's the only way I know of to get pix off my phone, maybe there's a better way.

He goes through Cingular. Anyone know how to get photos from the phone to the net?

I just sent a pix message to my email address and the opened up the picture in the email, right clicked and chose save picture as. That saved it to my computer and then I just uploaded them on here.
