Still debating about a trip.

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Speaking of road trips ....

I received a call today from a guy I met a couple of years ago at a
classic
car show. He had an absolutely beautiful '63 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible
that I was drooling over. I don't know why, but I've always liked this
particular Ford year and have been searching off and on for one for
several
years. They are hard to find that are in good shape and reasonably priced.

Anyway, he has decided to sell it and had saved my telephone number from
the
time we met.

I am going over to his house tomorrow with a check.

Crazy. I've been getting rid of most of the old cars ..... sold the '46
Ford, the '64 Ford, the '55 F-100 and gave the '69 Charger away. I have
kept the '67 GTO and the Porsche (just in case I run into wiseguys with
Corvettes). Now, I am starting over again. Oh well.

Speaking of Vette's, my kid would kill for a ride in a fast Corvette?
Wonder if I know anyone who has one

Just borrow it from Tom. *Great opportunity to teach your kid how to drive.

Got my kid a motorcycle for Christmas, manual transmission, 4 speed..
These kids are amazing. They are so used to analog controls from X-Box
that after a couple of verbal lessons, backed up with a couple of
drawings on the workings of the machine, my kid got on and drove it
away. Probably stalled it 4 - 5 times since then, that's all. As soon
as the weather breaks, we are going to try the Blazer... I like to
teach my kids to drive young, my last one learned in my Jeep. I drove
up to the state park and down a dirt road to a dead end, put her in
the drivers seat and told her to back it out! Told her anyone could go
forward, that's easy. If you can back it out of here, you can take it
anywyere... Seriously, that was the first time she drove, or worked a
clutch... The scarey part was later that week when I took her out on
the highway. Getting on the ramp she looked over her shoulder and
turned did not think to keep the wheel straight. Up on two wheels, one
side, then the other, but we did not flip She pulled over, had a
cry, a cigarette, and we drove off again...
