    Thanks for all the positive posts! I still can't get any additional pictures to upload. Not sure what's going on, but I will admit I am an idiot when it comes to all things computer. I'll keep working on it...

    And thanks Saxon for the hot start suggestion. I'll definitely look into it.

    Man that was a long story and kept me in suspense, just like a good movie. Very much worth the read. It's great that you so many good things in your life, friends, girl and cool car. Whatever you're doing, don't change a thing. Congrats.
     
  8. Most of the time I don't take the time to read through the many great stories on here, but this one is really great! I've been to the Painted Hills just one time and its gorgeous. I wish I could have been there at the same time as you to see the lovely ride!

    Brand new to this forum and this story is the first thing that I read! Wow! I sure could have done worse. As everyone has pointed out, this is a great story, well written, sweet car, and super folks that you've surrounded yourself with.

    I'm all for this too"...and a DQ Reese’s Blizzard is calling me."

    Looking forward to the staged picture of your car in Janeens shop with her posed in front of it! :)

    Thanks again,
    Chuck

    Very nice car. I felt like my wife was telling the story though as it was really about 5,000 words longer than it needed to be. But I am experienced. I read the first two lines, thought about a ham sandwich for 5 minutes, then read the last two lines and all was well.
     
  20. So when do is folks from Grants Pass get to check this thing out???

    For you "tl;dr" (too long, didn't read) folks, read it, it's a great write up. Good mix of people & cars.
