Some of you may know (or remember) that, a couple of months ago, I had a decision to make. That decision has finally been made...for about a week or so. Story refresh: Back in 2001 (when Gram was still alive), I discovered that one of her best friends from high school, Ruby, had a '79 MC. Long story short ... Gram told me to tell Ruby about my collection and that I'd be interested in her '79 if she ever decided to sell it. I did. When the time came for her to sell it about 4 years ago, I didn't have the money ... and her grandson and great grandson "wanted" it, to keep it in the family.... Ruby didn't want her great grandson to have it; she wanted ME to have it. Anyway, right before she died (about 3 years ago) I saw her, and she reiterated that she wished her grandson and great grandson had not wanted it because, as far as she knew, they weren't using it or driving it much..... Fast forward to earlier this year ... Doug, Ruby's grandson, called me to say that his son, Ruby's great grandson, does not want the car anymore...and that they want me to buy it. After many Emails back'n'forth about the condition of the car and additional pictures, I have decided to buy it. Trouble NOW is that the car is in Arkansas, and the weekends I am available in the next few months, they are not...and vice versa. So, it may be a while until it actually is OFFICIAL, but they know I will buy it. Course, I suppose I'm jinxing myself here, but I'm taking that chance.... Since I will have to save more money (tough to do with medical and other bills), this decision means a few things will have to wait a while longer, including... * a 1987 Monte Carlo SS (Aerocoupe, perhaps?) * a 1975 Caprice Classic convertible * my own home with a huge garage.... However, I'm still in the market for a winter beater...'86-'88 MC LS, '87 Cutlass Supreme, '77-'79 Caprice Classic, or '89-'90 Caprice 9C1...particularly because I saw a bit more rust on my '87 Monte Carlo LS when I washed, waxed and cleaned the interior this past Saturday, June 14....

My goodness. I knew buildings accounted for more pollution than vehicles, but my goodness....didn't realize the percentage for buildings was THAT much. Aye. That REALLY ticks me off that cars are the ones getting the bad rap . *grins* I'm sure I'll think of something . he he

Good! I'm waiting...........patiently..... he he

Aye...that is about the same type of flood level that my 2000 LS suffered in May 2003. It was finally declared a total loss on Friday, June 13, 2003...exactly 5 years ago this past Friday. I've been to Des Moines a few times now...and I can only imagine what it is like to be there now. I recognize a few of the places in those pics. Hard to believe, too..... Aye...and, I haven't heard from a few of my friends in the greater Des Moines area. I hope/pray that THEY are, at least, OK....

LOL! Ya know, I admit ... I had forgotten that you and he are friends. But, now that you mention it, yeah, I do remember...he he. And, since I do now remember, you know I expect pics of your Olds with his MC . BUT...be careful about calling yourself that. After all, my daily is my '87 MC LS...and while I bought it from an older couple, I don't see myself as rocking a grandpa ride . *pauses* Course, I've never attracted a female, either.......hmmmm....... *sighs*

*nods* Yep. Especially as they KEEP FREEKIN' BUILDING...homes and businesses. Sometimes, I wonder where the people get the money for the new homes being built. They aren't small homes, either. Or, if they are, they are condos/town homes that cost big bucks anyway. Grrr. It used to take less than 10 minutes to get to Plato Center, where my older 4 MCs are stored. Now, it is DOUBLE that ... because of all the building they've done between Elgin and PC. AND...MORE building is going on now. Arg. I sure hope you are right...I don't want it to be that bad. If it is, I'd better be dead. I don't know that I could buy a more economical car for a daily driver. I LOVE having NO car payments and less insurance costs. And, sorry, after owning a 1997 Corsica/malibu and a 2000 Celebrity/Lumina/monte carlo, I will never own another FWD vehicle. Yeah, I like the Dodge Charger and the Pontiac G8, but I don't see me owning anything but a Ch#$r%*et...and that company isn't making anything real that I want right now. Older cars just appeal to me more ... RWD, less insurance costs, no car payments..... *shrugs*
