I sure hope you do type that story up. IIRC, you told me at least part of it when I visited you earlier this year. These are 2 closeup shots I took of the stonework: http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/200808/020...mino12_jpg.html http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/200808/021...mino13_jpg.html Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker ...Chitown #2 = 07/25/09 Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "Every song, another scene" ...

Amen! Other than Jim's car, I LOVED that truck. 2-tone silver and maroon, iirc.....

*nods* Yes, absolutely!

Virtually the same situation here, XP. Everytime Olds Guy posts a model, I try to find it around here ... and most of the time, nada. *sighs* Then again, that's probably a good thing, since I usually want everything he posts! I still haven't found that MCSS Aerocoupe yet either .

This is more or less why I haven't gone through with it. Everytime I think about "disappearing", I remember something or someone that I can't let down........ *sighs* But, with the way things are going personally, I may have to "disappear" for a while to take care of some things.

Below freezing for the entire day for the first time all season today (Friday). Dangumit ... only had one day below freezing all day long and I'm ALREADY tired of it ... and we have the whole dang winter season to GO! Grrrr.....

Same here. And, with all the cars that keep lining up at the Elgin facility, I can't imagine business is slow for them. I know the South Elgin one doesn't get much business, but that's because of the short driveway and somewhat awkward location. *shrugs* I also agree...today's cars just don't have the same soul. They MAY be better, but they don't have the soul........ Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker ...& now an uncle!

I did find out it IS an automatic. BUT, it is a 2004 ... and they're asking nearly $18K. Sound like a deal? I don't know the mileage, though....

Holy ... cow! That is one Caddy I wouldn't mind owning...very cool!

Is the love affair with the automobile over? Say it ain't so! Well, I don't think it is...I wouldn't have my Monte Carlos otherwise.... But, the owner of a couple area car washes (1 in S Elgin; 1 in Elgin) seems to think so.... Eh, what?! The full article is here: http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/courier...WASH_S1.article SIDE NOTE #1: I'm disappointed that South Elgin wants to do something else with the land because that is the car wash I most-frequent during the winter months. It has the shortest driveway/waiting area, so the shortest waits.... Though, if I get a winter beater, I won't have to worry about that so much...eh? SIDE NOTE #2: I'm a bit intrigued with the business itself; it might be an interesting opportunity.... Anyway ... do you agree with businessman Mark?

Hmmmm.... Well, I will note this ... a certain B/P/GMC dealership I drive by en route home from work has a certain yellow GTO that keeps catching my eye.... With my luck, it'll be a manual. Sorry ... with the commute I have, I'd much rather stick with my auto..... Hmmmm

*raises eyebrow* ROAD TRIP! So, yes, I agree ... especially heading to Florida! Brrrr....I'm not ready for the cold or snow.

Mikey, Very sorry about your job. Very good that you have a backup plan. Many people don't.... GOOD LUCK to you. And, sad to see another dealership going under. Quite a few these days .
