Well, I may be leaving Ford for awhile...

Been looking to get rid of some debt, since I'll be getting married this fall, and she's already got the kids names picked out...

So, first to go (which had been planned since I bought it) is my '75 F100 SWB. Going to sell it to my buddy, but may sell the engine and tranny to another friend first...

Next I may trade the Stang for '95 Trans Am. Not sure though. I've been emailing the guy about it. Don't know if it will work out or not, but he's got a pretty cool car... If that doesn't work out I'm going to try to sell the Stang myself, and look for something old and cheap to drive while I get the Belvedere back on the road. I'm kinda thinking '71 El Camino/Chevelle or '71-74 Plymouth B-body. Not looking for a show car, just something cheap that I can still have a little fun with. I LOVE my Stang, but car payments are getting me down. Not that I can't handle them, just would rather have something cool and old than nice, new and financed...

I've got a decent running '84 5th Avenue, but I just can't bring myself to drive it. Besides it needs a little work just to be reliable...

So, just felt like bringing that up... I'm even thinking about selling/trading the Stang as is with aftermarket parts and stereo... all or nothing kinda thing...

Someday I'd like to pick up a Fox and have fun with it, but for now I need to focus on the Belvedere and the possibility of a new family...

It's too late. Her family knows where I live, and they're well armed. Plus, there's so many of them, they could find me anywhere I went...

I've accepted my fate, and will do my time...

Is that show funny or what? Crud, I just realized 24 has made me forget How I met your Mother the last week or two. Thanks for the heads up.

Um?




Well, anyway, I forgot to add 69-81 F-bodies to my list of desired vehicles. Although, judging by the price of early F-bodies it would most likely be 77-81...

and honestly this was my own decision. It was not directly commanded by her. Just time for something different without a big payment. I've always liked the old stuff better anyway...

Suit...? I don't care what kind of demands she makes. I don't do minivans or suits!

You know I just thought of something. I might also look for another 92-96 Flareside. I used to have a 92, and it was a great truck, and a truck would be more prctical than a car... Hmmm...

Taxi driver: Woah woah woah. Did you hit her?
Lilly: [laughs] Hit me? Please! This guy can barely spank me in bed for fun. He's all like "Oh honey did that hurt?" and I'm all like "C'mon let me have it ya pansy!"

Barney:
Come on Ted, this is an incredible opportunity, we'll meet our soulmates, nail'em and never call 'em again.

Barney:
I'm tired of the whole bar scene, the one-night hookups, I'm looking for a soulmate, someone who I can love and cuddle... [pauses] or so it says in my profile. [laughs]

Lily: Claudia is getting married tomorrow and so help me God if I catch you even so much as breathing the same air as her, I will take those peanuts you're trying to pass off as ********* and I will squeeze them so hard your eyes pop out and then we'll feed them to you like grapes!
Barney: Wait my eyes or my *********?
Lily: One of each!

Barney: If that guy can get a 9, I can get a 16.
Ted: What's a 16?
Barney: Those two 8s over there.

Regardless of what you decide to sell, it will all work out. Good luck on the up coming marriage. I can tell you this from personal experience, if you find the right one, life and the marriage will be great.....which fortunately, is what I have......


I guess it goes unsaid at what happens if you find the Wrong one.....
