Dammit to hell!!!
So I am reading the "computer bullitten board" looking for some cheap wheels to toodle around in...and I see that my Orthopod has had an add up for a couple of days:
Quote:
'69 Chevelle SS...straight, runs great, looks not great, has a little rust 100$ inquire by e-mail
|
So I write him back:
"Hey Doc! The board has you listing your chevelle for 100$. Is this $100, $1000, or $10,000? Looking for some cheap wheels...if you want $100, I'll give you double! LOL"
Knowing full well it wouldn't be a hundred bucks...
I was wrong...he wrote me back this morning:
"Joe, it was $100, sold it last night, wife said too many project cars. Didn't know you were looking"
AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish you weren't on the opposite side of the country. I know someone's T-bird that I hope he sells before it gets parked in my driveway for another winter ! LOL (only uses it in the summer - uses the Explorer in winter here in the NE)

Not to rub it in or anything, but I just turned over 600 miles in my new (arrest me red) Z06 Corvette, and I am liking the car better every day. Nancy was against it initially calling it a "sofa on wheels" compared to her 89 911 Carerra with 13,000 miles, she has now seen the error of her ways, and wants me to extract some more performance from her Porsche. How's that for a convert?
I had the dealer install a Vararam intake, a Hurst shifter, a Corsa exhaust system, and chrome wheels.

One of my partners just ordered one of these (I think I have the right model, but not sure) in the convertible version . . .

Very Cool ride. I guess no one wants to see any pics of my 1979 Chevy One Ton Six Pack Pickup? Before you all hurt yourselves laughing, it does have a custom built 350 small block, and has made it to the top of Steens Mountain, 9700 ft. elevation in southeastern Oregon. Neither Sagebrush nor spilt beer bother this rig. In the old days I built a '55 Chevy two door hard top that posted 12 sec. quarter miles. OK, my 13 year old daughter just read the posts here and she's WAY more impressed with you guys's rigs. Sorry about the lost Chevelle!

RL seems to do that often. My truck is newer than your truck (1991), but is probably uglier, lol. I was thinking about getting a little used car with great fuel mileage, but with twenty cents difference in diesel and gasoline, it wouldn't be that much difference in overall fuel cost.
What was the topic of this thread?
