Brady McQueen (aka 1carguy) [ View ] [ bradymcqueen@comcast.net ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] Pleasanton, California (925) 719-3200

It's only been a week since the car is gone and I'm already going through withdrawals. I go out into the garage and stare at an empty stall....my wife tells her friends that I wander aimlessly through the house with an empty look on my face....I check the classifieds on SR.COM and HRHL 46 times a day....last night I gorged myself on ice cream. I think I need professional help.

I know you miss your ride - beautiful car (and thanks for the advice on mine by the way). Get back on the pony as soon as possible but pause for a little Rocky Road along the way.

PS: Anybody ever read the FAT content on the ice cream carton's label :o) Scary...........................for us older fellas 32Canuck [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Victoria BC, Canada Charter Member since December 2006   Posted by gman0046  -  07/13/2007 07:01 PM I would takedons advice, buy a beater and have fun. After owning a car like you just sold, think of how nice it would be not to worry about a paint job. You can have just as much fun driving a primered car orone that needs paint. gman0046 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Anchorage, Kentucky   Posted by johns56  -  07/13/2007 07:36 PM you could always buy a ( gulp ) rat rod. :~) johns56 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] phoenix, Arizona   Posted by 1carguy  -  07/13/2007 09:27 PM Rat Rod??? just put a bullet in me... Girlfriend?? my wife just laughed... 1carguy [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pleasanton, California   Posted by zinski3  -  07/14/2007 01:45 PM The right vehicle will come along. You will know it. I went for 2 years without a car before I got the Willys. I think the wife got tired of seeing my face dragging on the ground everytime we would go to a show or cruise night and basically TOLD me to get a car! As far as a girlfriend...................... I once told my wife I was going to trade her in for 2-20's.................. she told me I wasn't wired for 220!! zinski3 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Edwards, Missouri Charter Member since December 2000   Posted by DavyJ  -  07/14/2007 11:44 PM Remember a budget driver can always be kept as a backup vehicle. just in case. you never know when you may need a spare! Still driving the wife's car, cause I am slow.

Good Luck Bob [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Copan, Oklahoma Charter Member since April 2007   Posted by rc57  -  07/16/2007 02:16 AM Brady-I don't mean to add to your pain, but I just picked up copy of "Street Rod Milestones" collectors edition, and guess whose car had a 6 page "Top 10" writeup. Congrats! Just thought the others would be interested too. never pet a burning dog! [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] colgate, Wisconsin Charter Member since February 2004   Posted by 1carguy  -  07/16/2007 04:12 AM Rich, I didn't know for sure when that would be published or whether they would actually write an article but was very pleased when they told me it was on the newstands. I've had pictures of my cars in mags but never had a feature article before...I strutted around here like a peacock for a week. No one around here probably saw it though since I bought every copy within a 20 mile radius. The timing sucked though, just about the time it hit...the car was gone. :-( 1carguy [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pleasanton, California
