Default The WS6 almost went bye bye.

I took the kid up to the dealership Saturday to look at buying at toy. He is being drafted this week, so we wanted to take a look at a new toy for him. I was in the WS6 and a guy that was there looking at a ZL1, wanted to buy the car. We agreed on a price, but I had to try and find another one that was a 6 speed that I could get for the same price. I couldn't find one that was close to the same mileage as mine. So I will be keeping the car. I was going to keep the wheels and tires, and lowering springs. And take the ones off the new car and put them on mine. But again, I couldn't find one.

How do you know he will be drafted? Lots of kids end up UDFA thinking there was a chance to be drafted.

This is what his agent is telling him. He is getting calls every day by different teams. Several teams have come to town to see him as well. He has also went back to his college for other teams to come see him. There is always the chance that it don't happen. Like I said, he is being told that he will be drafted, just don't know by who yet. And no way am I daddy Manziel!!! I will not post anything about who he is until after the fact.

Forget the WS6, your son possibly being drafted is the real story here. Best of luck!! Maybe he will be able to afford to buy you a few toys of your own$$$.

Idk man, it was a tough one to read. I think out of the whole thing I got, "I took my son in my ws6 to purchase a toy for himself because hes ( maybe ) getting drafted. Another guy was there to buy a toy and wanted my ws6, so he shot me a number I couldn't refuse but I couldn't find another WS6 with the same mileage and condition."

But hey who knows?

Edit- Ohh yeah something about putting new springs and tires on a new car he couldn't find.

It seems I need to type a little slower. Or make bullet points. But you got it. We went in looking for a car for him, and I am the one that almost sells my car.
I was keeping the wheels and springs on my current car and putting them on the new one if I could of found one. He wanted the car back stock.

Thats called a "Pro Day". If he participated in that, then yes, there is a good chance he gets drafted.

I know what Pro Day is. I was there for that. And I'm not talking about that. He had to go back twice because a team was coming in to see him. A team also came to town here to the local college to see him. He also had things done at his high school. Pro Day was very cool though. He was asked to stay after to do some more things.
