Some found their friendship a strange one, but each offered the other a glimpse of the road not taken. \u201cMy mind is like someone emptied the kitchen junk drawer onto a trampoline,\u201d Lucinda told her. \u201cYou\u2019re a sight for sore eyes.\u201d\r\n\r\nEngrossed in the conversations as she was, and with her back to the front door, Lucinda completely missed a stranger pull up in a Porsche 918 Spyder, park it out front, and come into the bar for a drink. Thelma couldn\u2019t help but notice both the stranger, and the Porsche he pulled up in. She didn\u2019t recognize either as being from Fort Stockton. Walking their direction, Thelma noticed him checking out Lucinda; Thelma on the other hand was checking out the Spyder out front.\r\n\r\nDespite her ecclesiastical commitment, Thelma had an eye for all things automotive, especially those rarely seen. \u201cClosest thing to an Indy race in this town is throwing a bag of Skittles in the toilet, squinting your eyes, and flushing them down,\u201d she used to say.\r\n\r\nMaking his way to the table where they sat, the stranger tipped his hat like a gentleman and offered to buy the pair another round. Lucinda was having none of it.\r\n\r\n\u201cLook stranger,\u201d she started, \u201cunless you\u2019ve got a ranch that\u2019s at least a thousand acres, a million dollars in the Prairie View State Bank, a Porsche in the garage, and seven inches in those Wranglers, you\u2019re wastin\u2019 my time.\u201d\r\n\r\nAnybody but Sister Thelma would have been taken aback by Lucinda\u2019s retort, but Thelma knew her well enough to not be shocked by anything Lucinda might say. What was surprising was the manner in which the stranger accepted her rebuff as he pulled up a chair at the table right next to her, took off his hat and signaled for the waitress for another round.\r\n\r\n\u201cWell, ma\u2019am,\u201d he said, \u201cas a matter of fact, I do have a ranch \u2018bout 70 miles due north of here, but it\u2019s closer to ten thousand acres. The one I have in Montana is slightly smaller. But the one I own in Colorado is the prettiest, by far.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe waitress brought a bucket of iced beers over, set it in the middle of the table, picked up the empties and scurried off.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn terms of my bank statement, if it fell to a million bucks I\u2019d get a call from the president of the bank asking me if I wanted to transfer funds because the balance had dropped so low,\u201d he went on. Sister Thelma chuckled to herself as she sipped a frosty cold beer.\r\n\r\n\u201cI\u2019m guessing,\u201d the stranger continued,\u201d that you perhaps did not notice the car I drove up in. It is, indeed, a Porsche, the 918 Spyder right out front. Not even the favorite one I own, but I feel I should take each one out and stretch their legs occasionally.\u201d\r\n\r\nSister Thelma actually giggled at that one.\r\n\r\n\u201cAs regards your final requirement,\u201d the stranger continued, \u201cas lovely as you are, and as refined as your tastes might be, as much as I would like to get to know you better, not even for you am I willing to have three inches removed.\u201d\r\n\r\nSister Thelma excused herself and left the two of them alone.", "likes": 38, "timestamp": 1664926894, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9701169, "authorName": "neverenoughgold", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/neverenoughgold/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@CaptainMyCaptain well zip my trousers and slap my knee, that there is just about the bestest punched line I heard today!\r\n\r\nExcuse me, I'll be with Sister Thelma...", "likes": 6, "timestamp": 1664993952, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9703526, "authorName": "Samanrac", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/samanrac/", "bidAmount": 1560000, "content": "$1,560,000 bid placed by Samanrac", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1665004139, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9703565, "authorName": "Bespokeracing", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bespokeracing/", "bidAmount": 1561918, "content": "$1,561,918 bid placed by Bespokeracing", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1665004283, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9703571, "authorName": "Bespokeracing", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bespokeracing/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Just had to add the 918 into the bid here....", "likes": 6, "timestamp": 1665004301, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9706581, "authorName": "HAN2014", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/han2014/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@CaptainMyCaptain \u201cMy mind is like someone emptied the kitchen junk drawer onto a trampoline.\u201d Seems Lucinda can be excused for not remembering the old adage \u2018everything\u2019s bigger in Texas\u2019.", "likes": 4, "timestamp": 1665059646, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9716215, "authorName": "ThejudgeRoy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/thejudgeroy/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Do you accept crypto usdc?", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1665144959, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9724931, "authorName": "efg2014", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/efg2014/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@CaptainMyCaptain : A well spoken 16 year old.
