And glad to do so.<br /><br />Gail, in northern California…I LOVE the Camaro story. I had two of them and my brother in law to be had a ’69. The coolest part of your story is that your daughter still has the car. Send me a picture of it.<br /><br />Main Line Sportsman said...I’ve GOT to start reading others’ blogs. Oh, and I’m done with school but you can take me somewhere and let me set my damn self on fire.<br /><br />Patsy...House paint…with a brush. Classic. <br /><br />Stankee-Whisky-Papa...thanks re ellipsis use. I couldn’t refrain if I had to. …<br /><br />AnonymousWillie…I know you know this but…the coat hanger wire has to be spray painted flat black. If the day-glo orange from the diff oversprays and spackles the coat hanger pipe rigging, it’s gonna look tacky. I hope Cletus recovered from your multi-entendre-ed Tumi Socket to-him that you did.<br /><br />NCJackie...I’m widja butcept the part about my mama agreeing that THIS particular thang had to be bought. I think she missed that meeting.<br /><br />maven...small historic apartments don’t parallel this story in the same way that guns, boats, watches and time-shares might. But I’m sad that you aren’t in possession of the small, historic, apartment building. Damn.<br /><br />Cape Cod Kitty...Porsche to Peugot…I reckon that’s the Cape Cod version of this South Carolina thang.<br /><br />yoga teachie...I’m digging the Orange Shelby gal anecdote and am assuming that wasband ain’t got no TT no more. And… “PS: How 'bout a kitten???” Uh…no. 90% of all my life’s troubles so far can be linked back to kitty procurement antics. But thanks.<br />ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-87548641428778370042012-09-08T19:37:13.348-04:002012-09-08T19:37:13.348-04:00Just the other week I was picking up my pregnant f...Just the other week I was picking up my pregnant foster kitty and talking with the wonderful animal hospital manager whom I've known for 10 years. A lower-middle-aged, glasses-wearing, makeup eschewing, sweet, animal rescuer for goodness sake! I was lamenting the cost of my 4 new AWD tires and she mentioned the cost of ONE of hers. Of course, I had to know what she drives. A SHELBY! Convertible!! Frickin' ORANGE!!! It makes me so happy to know that, besides rescuing animals, she also kicks ASS! Though I totally get that's not always a happy surprise in a husband or father.<br />(A certain someone showed up in an Audi TT shortly before the demise of his marriage.)<br /><br />PS: How 'bout a kitten???<br /><br />yoga teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551998007150554947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-15585368473000827432012-09-08T19:12:33.470-04:002012-09-08T19:12:33.470-04:00Wonderful post.....for my Dad - a very conservativ...Wonderful post.....for my Dad - a very conservative Yankee, it was a red Porche made in Germany to be driven in Germany....Oh my....parts and repairs were impossible.

I said Cletus, fetch me that bag right 'ere- that Tumi bag. And he said, why ... and I said cause my sockets are in it and he just rolled over and laughed... He looked at me and said Sockets? Tumi?

It wasn't a Mustang. Close though. <br /><br />I attribute half of my gray hairs to a 1968 Chevy Camaro my daughter bought while still in high school. She spotted it out in a field. Paid to get it towed to our house. She and her dad spent most weekends rebuilding that little monster and she had to hold down two part-time jobs to buy parts. Rims and new tires she considered best Christmas gift. Ever.<br /><br />She still has it. Takes it out occasionally for a bone-rattling drive. Fellas still stop what they're doing to watch.Gail, in northern Californianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-14527912028440677502012-09-07T10:03:40.024-04:002012-09-07T10:03:40.024-04:00That car was secretly yours.
