Kinda surprised an engineer like Sam would turn that kind of machinery loose. That Saudi prince mustive waved quite the pile of cash…. Or would Sam specify gold?
Not at all surprising “that an engineer like Sam” would swap a vehicle of profoundly limited utility for fungible resources of more protean potential. The ‘vette demonstrated its limitations in the recent emergency, didn’t it?

As one of those “Engineers like Sam”, unless I was dead broke, mechanical works of art don’t get sold just because they aren’t that useful.
I have my 70 Nova that I haven’t had time to play with for over 10 years, but shes setting in the garage for the time when I do.
And yea, at least in a straight line it would suck that pink toy up and spit it out the 4″ exhaust……

But for one very strategically placed “s”, that whole blurb would have went way X rated and made for one very wealthy redhead and one very happy prince…

Al,that’s the way I read it too;and add that Sam’s cooter would fetch a huge amount of money.

Walt, yeah count on the old guys here who are long of software and short of hardware to find the prurience in all things DBD whether or not intended…which in this case I’m sure it was.

Jan’s first thought too; don’t know what that says about Sam or herself.
Oh no, poor Wade will be heartbroken. He secretly loved that pink car, and no one can tell me otherwise.

That pink won’t stay pink long under the desert sun. In Riyadh or Los Angeles. The latter being the more common environment of free-range Saudi princes these days. I wonder why?
Oh, right. Less chance of being ISIS’d, more free-range girls not in purdah, and oh yes, LAPD is required to react “properly” to a diplo passport and “Do you know who I am?”
And booze. Lots of booze.

(sigh) the pink ‘vette. . . . But then again, without a proper racetrack or freeway to open her up on, it was just going to waste. But still. . . (sigh). . .

Texas, a place where Zed could open up the old ‘pink’ and air her out. Do a little bore honing and blow out some carbon. Lotta desert highways out there. I’d regularly do the ton on the way out to Sealy (location of BLWHIT) on I-10. Plus Old Shel and Mr. Hall are from Texas.

I seriously doubt Sam was ever a Vespa kind of female.
Not enough vrroom vrroom cubic inches for her.
Though Barry might like the little tickles…
Now that the spare keyboard is up and monitor cleaned: And I have stopped coughing while laughing, Good One Pamela!
Sorry about that. Might want to keep some clear drop cloths on hand..
Oh those Saudi princes…
What will she ever do without the pink ‘vette?
Just have to ride Zed more.
Stick shift.
Zed’s not a stick shift. He’s a 455 with a custom transmission for the long haul and never overheats.
If he’s a 455 he’s gotta be bored.

Maybe the Saudi prince thought Sam came with it.
Oh my, what did I just say?
with or in?
