This is not a personal attack, just an observation of what happended
when I went to Topeka, KS to "Horizon motors" to look at a 76 Eleganza
GMC.

I noticed it while driving by that dealer a month ago, and wanted to
see it, as I am actevely looking to darken my driveway with a GMC
motorhome. I got time off from work in advance, and drive to the
dealer in Topeka. When I got there, I saw no salesmen out side or
anything. I did look at the GMC though.

It was trashed, had carpet pasted on the walls. Rust covered the
rotors. The dash had wires hanging from it. I thought it was a
project, although to its credit, it had new "pep boys" (READ CHEAP)
tires on it. It was obvious this thing needed work and lots of it.

I finally saw a sales person in the building, and went in to see about
the GMC. Even though I am in my mid 40s I look twenty-something. I
work full time (Army stationed at Ft. RIley) and have money to buy a
RV.

Well he announced when I asked about it: "You cant afford this, boy."
I want 28,000 for this "collectors item."

He went on to add :"You dont know nothin about no GMC you dont know
what this is..." lol

And they wonder why people dont like to shop local for RVs.

Ill look else where to find that GMC, and when I do, his will still be
there, rusting away.

What a Shame.

GMCless at the moment. (GRIN)
