I knew she was Latina, but didn't know her family was from Spain. Awesome! I hear it is beautiful there. Now stay out of the "American style restaurants!!!

Believe me, the American style restaurant was not my choice. Like most Spanish restaurants in the U.S., they don't recreate American food well in Spain. They have movie posters on the wall of classic American movies like "The Nice Guys" and "Atomic Blonde." Yeah, I've never of them, either.

Photos are a must-have for every project. After two days of searching, I knew I had to get a new camera and go back to all these places. Did that today. Six places, 200 mile round trip, in the 991. Last site was a crappy vacant old medical office building.

Next door is an ARCO, so I walk over to get a gatorade. When I get back, as I am going down the sidewalk towards my car, I see a very grubby homeless guy riding his bike around it. As I get closer, he turns to me and says "that's a million dollars!" I replied, "Well, not quite that much."

I had noticed an old shopping cart at the site with a blanket over it. So I said, "Hey, don't you live there? By any chance have you seen a little blue digital camera? I think I may have left it here last week." He said, "Yeah, I've got it. Hang on a second, I'll go get it. I'm an honest person, I thought someone might be looking for it, so I saved it." He then went and got it. I gave him $20 (was that enough?).

Then he proudly showed me his bike, a 1974 Schwinn. He knew all about bikes, and we chatted a bit.

He also showed me how he's been maintaining the property. He sweeps it daily. He showed me a bit of blue graffiti on the wall. He says he caught some gang guy doing it, and ran him off of the property. He showed me a hole in the floor he fixed.

He asked if I had a business card, but I told him I was all out, but that the broker's contact info was on the sign.

Very surreal.
If the camera and its pics where worth $20.00 to you, then it was enough...I'd stop by every now and then to take him a meal and let him know how much his good deeds are appreciated.

This will make you throw up: on the 991 Forum, I am actively participating in a thread where we are discussing how to handle passengers that leave fingerprints on the door sill. Seriously.

I think it is very relevant to 991 owners. A lot of them are in very similar situations like this guy. Same age, same demographic, same predicament.

Wow. Yeah his ex is the one that went nuts after moving in with him :roll:

I think their idiots, but at least the 991 fools are talking about an expensive semi-rare vehicle. This guy is in a Passat! WTF??? :?

Is there a follow up video covering how many hours after getting her green card it took to file for divorce from that asshat?
