    I'm coming on the 9th with Gadget and will help with anything I can. I will be driving my 93 vic back to Texas one way or another.

      Not sure if I am going to make it this year or not.

      One of my friend's has a birthday on the 6th, and I agreed to take her to Boston for a day (on the weekend). If we do it the weekend before, I may come on Friday after work, and leave on Sunday. Probably have the Dodge; I can't get the Mustang dusty, and I'm cringing at the possibility of getting caught in the rain with it.

          That Ford product had better be your Vic. It's been 2 years since it's been painted and we still haven't seen it in person.

          I'm taking my shitbox Town Car if it'll make it. It's in pretty sore shape at the moment.

          My girlfriend and I will be there Friday afternoon

            As long as my boss doesn't give me shit for my days off, I'll at least be there Fri-Sun, I couldn't get Monday off. Might show up Thursday if I can get myself together in time.

            I'll be taking the 91... every time I drive the 85 to try to get it to quit again, it re-starts before I have a chance to try to figure out what's going on.
            I just know it'll decide to quit for good on the way to SF, or worse, on the way home.

                          ...so I guess you have no excuse to leave it at home this time...


                          It's cool, mine's hood has about 12 dents in it, the moldings look horrible, it's got awful exhaust leaks, the belt squeals no matter what I do (I think one of the pulleys is worn out... last option). We all drive old beat ass cars. Show yours off!

                              Mine was mechanically sound but looked horrible. Now it looks good, but the mechanicals are starting to go again. Its an endless cycle. Just about the time its mechanically perfect again it'll probably need another paint job.

                                mine is pretty much as i bought it last spring (when i was still off work)...havent had much money to really start workin on it,but as transprtation goes its ok.....body is rough,but repairable,runs ok,but will probably need the "usual" stuff within the next year...interior is average...,but,for a cheap "builder" it will do nicely for what i have planned
