Hey Alicia, what kind of car?
I "collect" stuff like that too. Last year I got a 1980 olds cutlass, and a 1952 gmc half ton given to me. I sold the truck (dont like the old chevy's body styles) and this sunday I have someone coming out to get the cutlass. With the extra cash It will go towards this 1940 ford half ton I am getting from my uncles estate.
It's a 73 camero. I'm not a huge Chevy fan, but it's free. It's got a 350, which is in great shape (he says) and the tranny works. So if the car is shot, I can strip it for parts and make a little cash.

Flying out this coming Friday to the big island of Hawaii for a week of sun and fun and snorkeling with the family.
Geezz that sounds like fun. The entire family? That does take some major planning.

As far as the haystack goes, you have a GREAT head of hair. Most men past the age of 45 can't say that.

If you want an honest answer: with you I think its a bit of an internal battle. You want an easygoing, intelligent woman who is into the same sort of things as you...but you are attracted to the high maintenance types. You like very slender women, the model types, extremely feminine. Those two things don't mix; herein lies your problem.

I hope you feel better. The non-drowsy Robitussin is good stuff too.

Yeah..what is it? Edit, nevermind. The Camero has a huge cult following. Surprises me that they couldn't find a buyer for a car like that.

73... thats when they turned into the same body style as the early 80's ones right?

For free, thats not too damn bad either! And your totally right, you could actually make a killing off of the parts, even if the body was shot. Plus someone out there wants a 73 camaro no matter how bad of shape its in.

Nice find (for free!)

Yes. Same body style. I don't know what model it is though. I'll find out when I get there.

If it's not too bad, I'm going to fix it and sell it whole

1973 Camero, they look like a Vega on steroids.


For some reason the first thought that came to my mind when I saw this picture is Homer Simpson grinning.

Yes indeed my friend. I'm going to write a book one of these days about all of the stuff I've dealt with and seen. Actually, it will be two books. One will be normal type and the other will be written in crayon and construction paper so the idiots it's written about can read it too.

Nope! I'm off until Monday night but I'm sure they'll be lined up waiting by then...LOL.

Even though I'm not a Chevy fan (the Denali is the wife's), I do like those early Camaros. 1970 was the change over year for the bodies you're talking about and they were pretty nice for Chebs.

Moday I will be free of this stupid unreliable mobile broadband card for internet. Going to have high speed broadband installed. Now hopefully Verizon will let me transfer this number to a phone for J-L.

Hey, he asked!
A cell phone number is still a number. I don't see why not. But that girl LOVES to talk on the phone. Are you sure you wanna do that?
