We have a No Go!

I wanted to trade the boat for this sweet ride, a Cadillac Eldorado from 1978 with Vince in Springfield. This allegedly has the longest doors ever put on a passenger car with large scale production. I went down there this weekend with my wife and had a great trip but unfortunately the Cadillac would not have passed inspection, it had a couple of things that needed a little work and I don't want to put any work into anything. So I had to walk away. Vince could not have been nicer about it, he was a really cool guy and said he understood. It wasn't anything either of us did wrong I don't think, because the boat is not perfect either, I just don't want to get into having a car that needs some work and I am afraid that is what the future would hold if I made this trade. So I walked away from Goldenpaperclip #7 and I will keep the boat for another day. (Or more- no hurry, its lots of fun).
