I am  currently trying to summon up the courage to bid on  this:

It  is just over the Italian border from France, less than 100 miles from our 
 
French house, and this is ULTRA RARE!!! 600s only had the sliding windows,  
lucite wind deflectors, pre-war Bentley clamshell-style front seats,  little 
bins on the doors and turn signals on top of the front fenders  (like VW 
Beetles) for a very short time (this is the first time I have  ever seen one 
on eBay), although they had suicide doors for several years  after those 
features disappeared.

Anyway, I WANT this! As I said, I  am trying to summon up the courage to bid 
on it. It probably means a new  marriage, but look what I sold  today:

This  means I have the money. However, I am *supposed* to be spending the 
money  on a sensible diesel (we are doing 50000 miles a year at the moment, 
and  at 19-20 mpg and $6 a gallon it is beginning to hurt). However, it is 
*so*  tempting to buy the totally impractical and silly 600 than a boring old 
 
diesel (I HATE diesles!). However, if I do buy the 600, I will be looking  
for a new wife...

My uncle bought one of these for my aunt when they lived in Lake Charles,  LA.
 
Turn out to be just a hideous vehicle.
 
It was so bad that after it spent, most of the first 6 months they owned  it, 
at the dealer he, 
(and you've heard these stories before) being a sign painter, painted it  
yellow and put a 
large sign on the top saying. Yep It's A Lemon and I bought it here!
 
Parked it on the "public" street in front of the dealer. The dealer called  
the cops and wanted them to tow it or at least make him move it. They told the  
dealer he could park it there so
long as it was parked legally. Then the dealer told him he would sue him.  My 
uncle showed
him the many repair receipts and told him to go ahead.
 
At that point the dealer asked him how much it would cost him to "buy it  
back" He paid my
uncle the total cost of the car and all the receipts. I believe he made  some 
noises about my
uncle paying for the milage on the car and that was countered with "if my  
aunt didn't feel
the need to be compensated for all the times it left her stranded."
 
He paid!
