OK, I know you have all been waiting anxiously, (Yeah, right.) so here it is. And Mike, your wife can have the Hog, we'll go for a spin in THIS!!

 

[canisson]

One more angle...isn't she pretty???

 

[pjr]

Well, you know what I'm driving... and Mustang has just purchased a pristine 1968 Camaro. Sounds like we need a motor forum out here!

 

[canisson]

well, let's not get carried away here. Maybe a mention here or there, but there is specific boards for motorheads. (I am not one....yet. I hope I won't turn into one of those fanatical "car people".) I just passed on a cherry 71 Vette a few years ago, and told myself I won't pass on the next one. So here I am...so far so good.

 

[rscdragon]

Pretty sweet. Did you get it in time for the dream cruse?

 

[canisson]

I did, but unfortunately, I could not get it insured in time to take her out. I purchased one other classic, a '66 Chevy pickup, back in Jan. '88 at 500 pm, and proceeded to total it at 730. So I was not about to drive without any coverage for it!
Next year I will be there on 9 Mile with my brother's '69 Roadrunner, looking good and feeling proud!!

VERY NICE, I remember running a few races against those when I was younger.

 

[canisson]

Thanx, John. She won't be running any races, as I am trying to keep her as stock original as possible. But she will purr and turn a few heads by the time I am all done with her.

Why are cars always referred to as females???

 

[John Brancheau]

Because the niceest ones are always as appealing as a good women, and as tempermental also. Sorry ladies.....

 

[sondowner]

sounds like we need a " i have more money than i know what to do with forum"..lol
nice car...

 

[canisson]

And again the old threads never die....yes Sondowner, a more money than we know what to do with WOULD be a great idea! I mean, why else did any of us get into reefing in the first place? Who in their right mind would spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars to keep a box full of rocks, water, and animals that resemble plants?

Oh yeah, and a few fish here and there.

 

[Newts]

Yea but some seem to have the box of rocks, water, and animals, and still spend thousands more on other hobbies like cars, boats, and anything else that takes a good amount of cash. Actually I'm jealous, that is a sweet ride. I love the Camaros and Firebirds of the '60s.I also like the early '70s Chevelles.

 

[Jimbob]

You mean to tell me you own that and then you came over to my place to pick up yer stuff in an Aztek??? What gives man !?!?!? Heck, I'd a prolly given ya a $5 discount for a spin around the block in something fun! 0

 

[sondowner]

YEA WE ARE L GULTY OF THE OVER SPENDING I AM SURE...ESPECIALLY WITH OUR (MODEL OCEANS) AND CARS THE SAME ....THEY ARE ADDICTING...THE HARD PART IS DOING ONE HOBBY AT A TIME...LOL

 

[tszetela]

Ummm... I sure hope that the your (VERY) pretty new addition is all tucked in for a long winters nap by now!!! Oh and did I say VERY NICE!! That ranks in the top 3 of my favorite 60s muscle cars!!!

 

[canisson]

Thanx to all for the comments and praise. I did spend money to get her that I shouldn't have spent. But an offer like that one doesn't come around every day, and I had to jump on it when I had the chance.
Unfortunately Jim, she is indeed tucked away for a long winters' nap. (Hence the Aztec....but be nice, she's new too!) Come springtime though, I'll have her out and about with some definate improvemnts, and I'd be more than happy to offer rides to anyone around. You'll for sure see me at some swaps and events with her all shined up and pretty-polished!

Oh how I long for summer again already!!
