As we pulled up in my new 300C, the vendors sales reps was still in the parking lot as we pulled up. Mind you he was driving a new Audi A8. As I get out of the car the vendor sales rep makes a comment to me. "I must be on the wrong side of the business". I am driving a $45K car and hes driving a $65K car. Latter the client had overheard the comment and says to me, "Ken I now how hard you work and the long hours, I can't belive he said that, you deserve it".

I just goes to show that anyone can be jealous of something they dont have!

Nice joke!!

hi kenm

i'm calming down now.

The list price for a Hemi 300c in England is £32995 ($57750) on the road all taxes and delivery paid (& I think a higher spec than the American 300c) whereas a Audi A8 4.2 quattro tiptronic would sting you for £59950 ($105000) BEFORE you added the toys onto the Audi to bring the specs in line.

makes you weep doesn't it, to see the prices that we have to pay.
