OK, so last night my wife calls me in and says honey, there is a 1950 Buick in Kingman (about an hours drive each way), would you be interested? Typical response depends, how much? She yells back he just listed it on Craigslist, FREE. So, figuring it would only cost me $20 or so in gas, sure, even if its just a few decent parts, it gives us something to go do. fficeffice" /><O></O> <O></O> Well, figuring it was a total piece of ****, we headed out at 8 to go see what I got myself into. Umm yea, slightly better than expected. <O></O> <O></O> <O></O> Just got home, still on the trailer. Its 110 outside, yuck.<O></O> <O></O> <O></O> <O></O> Did I mention the whole front end, even inner fenders/ core support/ trim,,,, even down to the horn? Even the gl*** and a clear ***le. Truck is full too, as well as seats in the car and a trunk of parts. <O></O> <O></O> <O></O> <O></O> Dash is all there. Check out the nifty steering wheel.<O></O> <O></O> <O></O> <O></O> And the back.<O></O> <O></O> <O></O> <O></O> So, how did I do for $20 in gas and $5 in soda for the wife and kid?<O></O>
...............your.................wife.......................calls.........................you.................about.............an old ...car. umkay
Yup. Planning to part it out or customize it? I'd be interested in the front and rear bumper guards for the '52 me and my Dad are working on. We're parting one out if there's anything your car needs we could swap. Excellent score
The bumper/grill is the wrong year, Yea, he even apologised, but the body tag still on it and ***le both say 50. Do I have to deliver? Ummmm, yea, all posts like these are by anyone.
Isn't that what wives are supposed to do? Yes I love old cars as well and always on the look out for a deal.........Glad he took me for the road trip so I could enjoy in the find as well....
Thx, honestly, I have no plans one way or the other, I just came indide,,,,, cause it's 110+ now out there. I'll "think" over the next week or so.
Realised he got in over his head from talking to him. Nice guy, young (mid 20s), dealing with life issues and just wanted it gone. I've given some away like that over the years. He wanted to make sure a car guy wanted it and not a s****per. 21 years with her. After this find, I told her I'm renewing her contract for a few months.
Thats a awsome wife mine would have not said a word tell someone els got it then she would have said i could have got that for free
Awww,Thats Sweet!!1 We will hit our 21st Anniversary this next month. And my real find was meeting my hubby whom opened me up to a great life of old cars and taught me how to work on cars.
Congrats on 21 years. My squeeze buddy and I celebrated 30 years on Feb. 14.....that's so I can remember the date. I told her on the way to church this morning that I always wanted to go to Bonneville Speed Week. Her response was, why don't you go this year? Will Kevin go with you? ( Kiwiboy, my hot rod buddy in McKinney, TX ) So, I'm looking into it.
Great deal! Wifes a keeper too,not to many would tell you much less go along for the trip.Your a lucky man.
****, I was hoping no one saw that because I couln't fix it. I got home and was/am DOG TIRED and since I use photobucket for my pics, I wrote the post in Microsoft Word so I can add the links instead of bouncing back and forth. Anyway, when I got done, there was red line correction marks on tons of words, so I fixed the lines. UNFORTUNATELY, the ***le I wrote on my own being tired. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it I'm going to tri huked onn fonixz, caz itz werkd fer yu
I knew you were, I saw it too. Car? Who knows what I'll do. Its more the wifes style, we will see. As for the wife, thx, I might keep her a bit longer.
