Wife sold three of my project Mercedes in one day and all three ran! In her
defense I had six.
We had a long discussion (lasted several days) and we came to an
understanding. I keep my hobby in control and she stays away from my cars!
Also, she can buy & drive anything she wants.
So she drives a new Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have my 77 Vette, 76 BMW R75/6
(motorcycle) and 1992 Harley-Davidson & I'm currently looking for a Vanagon
or a bay window Westy. Oh, and she bought me a new Jeep Liberty last year
because she couldn't stand seeing me drive 40,000 + / year in an "old car".
I guess I can't complain too much.
Thanks,
Tom Hargrave

dear clunkers
it should have been mandatory to provide an actual photo of the vehicle
there was in my recall a few Rolls Royce that had some rust issues
and some jags with leaky fuel systems ...
but nearly 300 vanagons is simply a tragedy ...
lots of ridiculous vehicles listed ..
i see many people coming home from where ever they were and finding out that
a previously significant other is driving a new vehicle and their project is
gone
oh well
