Be careful advertising in Hemmings

[eilig]

Hey guys -- Just wanted to pass this along.

As many of you know, I'm in process of working through the sale of my 1970 442 W-30, and the numbers are pretty big. I just recently had my ad hit Hemmings Motor News. Since it has hit, here are some things that have happened:

1) Got a call from a man and woman (they blocked their inbound caller ID) who offered to pay for the car using an equivalent amount of methanphetamines (sp?)
2) Last two nights, getting repeated calls with the caller ID indicating "PRISON."
3) Last night, my garage got broken into -- the first time this has happened in 30+ years. Nothing was taken, and fortunately the 442 is in a garage at a different location.
4) Now getting insulting emails from "yo_quiermo", a person who is bold and beligerant.

Net, I will NEVER EVER advertise in Hemmings again. Nice to see the various types of elements this publication is obviously reaching.

It's downright dangerous. I actually published my home phone number in the Hemmings ad -- a HUGE mistake.

What a pathetic eye opener of the state of America these days.
