Should I buy A Mooney What's this?

[Cris]

Does anybody find it odd that someone with out any posts would put this survey question up on Mooney Space without any ability to respond except to the survey? I think we all know the outcome so....?  I have seen a few of these type of posts and am wondering what they are about.

That's either a forum bug that caused the full post not to post, or it's a spammer. With this one, I'm guessing someone's post didn't post all the way and it's a bug.  Someone probably has a mission/scenario question and is asking if a Mooney is a good choice.

My vote is NO on the Mooney.  I think he should by a 2012 Cessna TTX with the Garmin G2000 touch screen display and take me for a ride (or two) in it. It would be money well spent in my opinion

I would suggest he get a brand new 2013 model direct from the Mooney factory...........

you know the one with the self leaning full authority power pack, HUD display and voice activated auto pilot with accident anticipation cockpit ejection system.

If he doesn't buy the 2013, can I have the landing actuator springs off it ......... mine are due for replacement and I'm waaaaiting patiently for a pair.

Well it's nice to see that we have such a humourous group. All scammers can now go away but we will laugh for at least today!! Write on..

He actually had some questions about mission fit for a Mooney. I couldn't read it this morning--typical bug not letting anything appear except the poll. Checked on my Droid and read a lengthy post, but I can't reply with the phone. His questions ivnolve:

• 
  
• 1000-nm family trips [one way or round-trip?]
  
• more economical than the airlines?
  
• use it to get his PPL
  
• increased flexibility for short-notice trips
  

Someone actually had a response suggesting he would have fewer unscheduled stops with an Instrument Rating. That post is now also gone . . . but it's still on my phone [i haven't refreshed it yet].

Also, he asked if 80K budget will buy a safe, reliable plane, and what to expect for annual costs rangign from hangar to maintenance to insurance, etc.

With no other options, i sent him a PM.

I personally think that he should purchase the 2013 Moo-Jet.  Since Mitch and I have been to the highly secret skunk works at the factory, I can speak with authority that the latest Mooney jet will be sure to please.  [and if he believes this, then I know of a bridge for sale in Brooklyn]

 I hear the new Pipers have an automatic parallel parking function.  He should totally get one of those!
