Man, that thing is sweet! I would love to have my old '54 back. I didn't lose mine over a woman though, it was over a battle with a bunch of orange trees!!
The "Hemet Post" brings back memories, only for me it was boats. I met this blond during a period I was looking for a new boat. "I just love boats", "Make sure you get one with a bathroom", "Oooh, I just love this one", etc. etc. etc. I overspent and went bigger than I ever would have done myself. Afterwards? "I'm afraid of water", and the boat sat at the marina for a few years, and then in storage, and eventually was sold. I was lucky though; she never got pregnant, and because she was 100% Swedish, I was able to avoid the mustache.
