Almost ready to hang a sign on my garage over the driveway...



The last of the junkers and clunkers I got stuck with are about to be gone, which will leave an 89 Taurus, an 82 F100, and an 85 F250 diesel dually flatbed. - Plus my enduro bikes.

I did scrap those things too, th' ole lady will have a cow when she see's that sign hangin'...

It'll be a true ford blue zone once again!!!

I have an 88 Ford F-150 , a 98 Chevy Astro Conv. Van(for trips) and a 94 Volvo 850(the wife's ride). I guess that's 2 Ford's since Ford owns Volvo.

Finally sent the wife's Jeep down the road. The kid's brand "X" is in the junkyard. That leaves only her 02 Explorer, my F250 SD, and my 90 Ranger STX in the drive. My boat is in the garage, so it doesn't count.

I had to.

By the time I get rich and infamous - it would have been little more than a rust mark on the gravel.

I HAD TO JUMP START ME NOW!!!

And there is a certain amount of altruism involved...

I would feel like crap if the car was wasted because I DID NOT have the means, but someone else did - to get it right.

I wish more people who had classic cars that were turning into ZERO would realise that, and give someone else a chance.

It isn't fair to watch a thing like that become useless.

TANSTAAFL.

Would you like a well used, blonde, vegan, with a Masters in Art to HANG beside it? I"m trying to think of a legal way to get rid of her as our new supervisor. She'd make a great addition to one of those cars you are scrapping... especially at the crushing stage. One thing..don't look her in the eyes.... shes COLD COLD COLD and a very callous female of the opposite persuasion. I think she'd look good hanging there, so you probably ought not give me your address.

Dear Lord , Let there be peace on the Earth. Please seal all imperfections in the female species. Artwork isn't a bad notion is it?

I keep trying to make my mom understand that herself. theres a 1940 Ford half ton truck in my driveway, rusting away, brakes are frozen so tight I'd swear they were welded, and I bet the lugs wont come loose without a torch, plus the motor is probably seized, tranny too, and its worth about as much as a bag of manure. I keep telling her, it HAS to go, but she's keepin the thing sayin "I'll fix it up when I've got money and a garage" bull---- that'll NEVER happen, and I know it. by the time she gets to restoring it, there wont be anything left but a piece of metal thats about the size of a quarter.
