Ok, so the question has arison, how did I score Lead Foot. I will break it down....and for those that may get a little peturbed, please don't, its not what the O is about.
As you all know, Lead Foot had been placed on E-bay numerous times, with no sale taking place. Each time the reserve wasn't met. On the fifth and final time obviously (Thanks whores for posting that in the crazy bidders thread), I got curious as to whether they truly wanted to sell it. So I started calling around corporate, (the Co-Pilot event helped here as I had names to ask for). I also emailed the seller on e-bay and asked about the legitamacy, in response I was able to get a name. I then called corporate and asked for that department and name. I asked why it had not sold previously and was informed that the reserve price hadn't been met. I explained how I was a fan of Oakley, a Co-Pilot and an O-review member, along with a quick, "what is the reserve price set at this time?" He told me, and I said "Sold!", "go ahead and pull it off e-bay". Called my bank and applied for the loan. This was the tricky part, as it was so hard for them to believe that this truck had less than 3000 miles on it for the age. They also had a hard time understanding how I was buying it from a corporation in California that has nothing to do with cars. The rep from corporate called me back and told me that the executive manager agreed to the reserve price sale and he was pulling it from e-bay. 3 weeks, shipping company headaches and a few intense phone calls with my bank, and the check was released, sent and deal was done. 2 and a half weeks later, Lead Foot was in my driveway. All of you thought I was gonig to give you the price I paid huh? Promise not to throw anything at me?
