Hey guys and gals!

Long time lurker, first time poster here.

I was on my way home yesterday, and saw a white 05 V6 on a car carrier. This was the first time I've seen one in person. Sorry I don't have pictures. It was on the interstate, and I was on the overpass, so I couldn't give chase.

It was a smaller carrier, more like used car lots use. There were 2-3 other vehicles on it, all obviously used.

Could it be a used car dealer was transporting it to their lot as an attention getter? The first MINI I saw was on a used car lot...

Hey, EleanorsMine. I live in Alabaster, too! I have to admit I've been driving by Ernest McCarty a little slower than usual the past couple days...

I have been stalking it out daily. My husband is covering Long Lewis for me.
I am SO sick of those two out front- I want a magic wand to change them into 5s.

Excellent.

I doubt Ernest Mc slimy is going to have one- they still have a ton of 04s but I am off to there around lunch today to see if things have changed.

Don't go on that lot, its like stepping on a pee ant bed- they POUR out at you, card in hand for their creepy handshakes.


Come on, theres more than 3 of us in Bammy........Still dealers to be staked out.

It was on 65 North at the Lakeshore exit. I was crossing the overpass heading to the southbound on ramp. No way I could have pulled a bat turn and chased him down in rush hour traffic. :bang:

Pee!
I never venture above 31 by Marks!

Logic tells me where there's some, there's more.
Going south? Long Lewis perhaps?
Or hooking a right for Town and Country?
Or south to Pelham for Ernest mcslimy?

That is it, I am ducking out early today!
