What Would you do

Rick...You're a good person,( I know that for a fact) good things happen to good people. It wouldn't hurt to stop by,knock on his door,and talk about the car,in general conversation let him know how much you liked the car and would gladly purchace it back if he ever felt like he wanted to sell.
I wouldnt hurt,give it a try!
Maybe one of these days we'll learn when we have a car that we really like and are attatched to it,we should keep it!!
Good luck!!
Wally.
