Baby Bird

[David Brady]

I know, trouble is.... I want it...

I passed a Q-bus on the road today; what a stout
vehicle. Very cool, didn't help to assuage my desires
any.

Considering what a Sprint chassis class C brings, the little bird should be
worth 80 grand, maybe. Guess it depends on what the fuel mileage is.
It's a nice little machine.
Holland MI had a 36 Newell with a 892, Mr Olivers had one too. Seems they
brought stupid money, around 200k, so who knows?

My wife stopped by to see the "Baby Bird" on her way through
unadilla, GA. She said it is VERY nice, and is great shape. When she
inquired about the price, she was FLOORED! 250K WOW. It must be made
out of unobtainium. I guess the old adage "LESS is MORE" is true! The
saleman sent her a link to some pictures, enjoy. Someone with DEEP
pockets will have a nice "Short bus", but I think if you pay that
much maybe you should be riding the "Short Bus"!

Ok now that I have seen this baby bird and seen where the 1% of the
country wealthy people can buy or should I say toy with here is what
a normal everyday type guy can buy for $200 and its a baby bird!!! Oh
maybe not fancy but still a baby bird. Now you could spend say
20,000 dollars you could have this retrofired to gain that
Wanderlodge feel and still have 230,000 dollars to spend on fuel for
the rest of his life. Oh yes that might be short on the dollars as
far as fuel because of the way fuel cost are rising every second.

Perhaps the dealer is unknowingly basing his price on the bluebook of
a Wanderlodge of the same vintage? Even worse if he is basing it on
that knowingly to sucker someone who wants a Bluebird.
