Ok,we talked about the situation over dinner at our favorite resturant this evening. Maureen was amazed I've had the black car 4 years and never said a word about a green one.She knows how much I wanted Forest green,so it was basically I told you so.:rolleyes: The black car means too much to both of us and she will be upset if I sell,so we both agreed I should start looking for another 70.:cool: This should really come as no shock to anyone here,being the wacko that I am.So it is a no sale for the black car and the hunt is on.Waving

I am so happy you decided to keep it. I knew I liked Maureen, and I haven't even met her. You are a lucky man to have such an amazing woman who supports your "dreams". Good Luck with your search.

I could tell that there were things that weren't original in the engine comp. Being that it's a numbers matching car and green, I thought it was a nice car. The price in my opinion seems alittle high.If I see one for sale, I'll post a link up for ya Gary. Bowtie smiley

Thanks guys.You know,they say working keeps you young.Looks like my retirement age is going to get bumped up a few years.And yes,the hunt is a lot of fun.

Ms Grumpy 10-22-2011 03:36 PM

And you have a lot of friends that are going to keep an eye out for your new ride.

grandsport 10-22-2011 03:49 PM

Judging from numbers from another site I should be able to buy a green L34 automatic for around 5k.:p:banana:

Hank70SS 10-22-2011 05:29 PM

WOW! You get to keep the black car and buy a green one too! Good for you, hope you find a nice one.

grandsport 10-22-2011 06:35 PM

I hope you guys don't take this as a brag thread.People enjoy spending money in different ways.We never take vacations,spend money foolishly buying stiupid things and we both work hard. We just happen to be a family that loves cars and a dog or 2.:)

Bowtie-Bri 10-22-2011 09:23 PM

I have 2 cars, and the wife said something today about getting another dog to keep our Toby company....We'll see. :D

Don't you think we are all car lovers here. I don't think it is bragging on your part.....I think it is envy on my part. I wish I had the space to have a second car, cause believe me we would. Like you said, some people own boats, RV's, take vacations....we have cars. It is just our passion.

No way. $1200 at the most. I'm certain it once had rust on one of its right-rear lugnuts. :D

Hey, you work hard for your money so you can spend it on things that make you happy. If your hard work and talent get you what you want and others are jealous, oh well. I say good for you, most of us don't work because it's fun, we work because we have to. If we're lucky we get to buy more than just the necessities. So good luck finding the 'Green' car. I hope to see both it and the 'Black' car someday. Maybe after my busted butt heals up.

grandsport 10-23-2011 05:12 PM

Thanks,my friend.

flash 10-23-2011 07:33 PM

Gary ,you could always do worse like me and be spending thousands of dollars I dont have fixing my rental house that I didnt tear up instead of working on something like another shop building.Sorry rant over ,enjoy the hunt.
