Subject:Re: Go westy sales

The people who buy from Go Westy don't think they are too expensive.  It's
"Chump Change" to most of them.  Where else can you buy "Cool" like a
perfect old van for really really a lot of money?  It you have to ask how
much it costs, you can't afford it?  These same type clients are the ones
who were into Airstreams a few years ago...They will be lining up for Telsa
cars at $100k a pop soon...or maybe those are pase already..."cool" costs a
lot.
