Here's another attempt, $1000 for #70!!!

I've gotta think you could get spot #70 (or close anyway) on somebody's list just by walking in the door at this point. Not to mention this car may not go for MSRP.

Buyer Beware.

PS- As a Libertarian and staunch capitalist, I've got no moral problem with someone selling their spot. I just am of the opinion the buyer is getting screwed.

Looks like GoldStarAuctions are now playing by eBay rules and they are auctioning the car itself, not the place in line to buy the car:

and so is this one:

US $20,100.00 (reserve not yet met) ??????
Does anyone else think that this is ridiculous, even for a cooper? and it isn't even the S. Wow!

You are not alone, I'm the only person on my block with Harry Browne/LP bumperstickers on his truck.

A little peeved at the party as of late, spending money they don't have on campaigns they don't promote and then using the mailing list to promote Harry's financial newsletters while begging for donations, but am a registered member and almost ran for TN State Senate a couple years ago.

The first customization of my Cooper S will be NRA and Libertarian stickers.

Me too.

Hopefully the Tennessee Libertarian Party has a better logo than NC. For whatever reason they decided to drop the "Statue of Liberty" logo used by the national party, and go with a penguin (I kid you not).

all loving MINI's. Kinda weird since we are relatively few,
where is Art Bell when you need him?

normalizer · Mar 15th, 2002, 07:39 PM

The TN logo is, if memory serves me, the Statue of Liberty. And I have to confess that the alternate LP logo of the freedom penguin was created by a fellow resident of the Volunteer State. I don't have a problem with it but it does look a little, how shall I say this, amateurish. Not that that ever stopped the party before.

Am trying to think of what license tag I want for my S when it arrives, one possibility is LIBERTY. Has a certain ring to it....

Any of you guys part of the Free State Project?

Either way it's great to have some Libertarians/Capitalists on this board. I feel more at home
