Anyone ever been approached to sell their car?

Came home from vacation to find a note on the e55 wagon asking if I'd like to sell it. I'd say no but given the right price is been thinking of something more pedestrian. I sometimes feel bad using it as a kid hauler (though I do a good job taking care of her!)

Yes.

The M Roadster takes half the garage since it's a convertible Since last year, the wife's business takes the other half so the wagon got kicked out. Building a 3rd bay is part of 2015 plans.

That said, it's at least in a nice comfy spot on the side of the house that doesn't get much sun.

Ya Chandler has a nice mild winter but lookout when summer comes.

Having said that, I moved to Colorado almost two years ago from Vegas and have to say Vegas weather is very easy on cars compared to what I am dealing with in Colorado. In Vegas all I had to deal with was what the heat did to the rubber, whether it was window trim or the biggest was tires would dry out before they lost tread. Here in Colorado we have to deal with yearly broken windshields and rocks chips in paint from rocks/sand on the roads, pot holes everywhere from drastic temp changes (just replaced two bent wheels from one pot hole) and the dreaded magnesium chloride in the winter months which means I go through car washes constantly.
