Wow... I guess I've opened up quite a can of worms here. For the record Marcia and I have been fighting a lot less as of the past few days while Julie & I are doing great. Having her by my side (or just a text message away) has made all the differace. It's both the end of the road and the start of a new jouorney at the same time.

I payed less than $1300. :wink: Or... about 1/3 of the amount of money than my insurance costs on the B-59 per year.

Happy Anniversary of your Birth!

Perfect supporting case for the importance of the 2nd amendment.

With my personal life being such a mess and all I have not had a chance to update you guys on my latest car purchase, car sale & the last chapter in the Oldsmobile Super 88 saga... Here's how I spent my day Friday, May 18th. 7:00am: Super 88 picked up by shipping company. 1:00pm - 7:00pm: Helped Julie move out of her Ex's house... my Cadillac's huge trunk comes in handy. 5:00pm: XP calles me up and talks me into selling him my 1977 Coupe deVille. I end up telling him I have to turn a small profit or I'm keeping the car, two hours later he's got his plates on it and we're bombing up the road to get me my replacement car that I had lined up in Rockport, MA. 9:00pm: Got a kick ass deal on a 1976 Buick LeSabre 4dr hardtop. Did I mention it was 455 powered? More photos coming soon. FYI: This car is for sale for $1300 or best offer...

That particular combo is not my thing but I can see how it would taste good to some people, interesting dinner. I've been on a fine-chocolate kick as of late. Growing up in Europe means I have always been obsessed with good German/Belgian style creamy chocolate.

Damn... I'm jelaous. Great looking truck. I even like the colors. Congrats!

Timing. Buy low (spring) sell high. Too bad, from what I remmember Camino you said you were happy with the owner's enthusiasm for the car....

It would be freekin' awsome if there was a Yenko Super Camaro powered by the LS7.

Sorry to hear that. Head gasket is just the start of that car's problems... there's a good chance your head is warped, turned to useless scrap metal. I've worked at several GM dealerships for a few years... trust me the whole "X amout of cars HAVE to go ASAP" is just another semi-soft selling tactic. Either way good luck. I say your parents should get a gently used Charger.

Oh yes... and to answer your question Balthazar: YES. Now more than EVER I need to take this roadtrip... for my own sanity. I need to be selfish for a week and get away from it all. Last night I was going down School St. in Lowell and went through a green light in the '59 Buick right as I entered the Mammoth Road Bridge. At the last possible second a white Ford F350 cut me off when he refused to yield WHAT-SO-FU$%ING-EVER. I was going probably 45mph (dowhill) and he cut me off so damn bad that I locked up my brakes & just braced for impact. The skid marks are still there, probably about 25-30 feet of them... at the last second the retard slamed on his brakes, I released mine and sliped like a wet cod between his front bumper and a telephone pole, it was honestly miraculous that I did not smash up the car and rip that freekin bumper & driver's wheel right off his stupid assed truck. Liberal use of the horn was involved. How in the fu*#ing hell he did not see my WHITE B-59 in a straight intersection with NO obstruction I will never understand. Retard. Anyway the point of that story is that every time I drive that thing it's a gamble, so screw it, why not take it to Tulsa? it's a once in a lifetime event.

Thanks guys. I read every one of your posts and am very much interested in getting as much 411 as possible so that Sofia will be least effected by all this craziness. Aaaa: We're not married on paper, that was in part due to Marcia's innability to deal with the permanancy of a marrige and also my crappy methods of asking her. I bought a ring for her and the whole nine-yards a few years ago but the night I asked her to wear it things got all screwed up. I call it a divorce because in the end that's what it is. We've been living together for five years and we have a child... it's basically a common-law marrige by the definition. Sofia has been the only reason why the hostility & anger (esp. on my part) stopped in the last few days. We are seeking help from a concelor about how to best make it amicable & healthy for HER sake. This whole thing blind sighted me. I did not see it coming at all, but I really should have. Julie has entered my life as if almost by fate. The timing of everything is absolutely incredible. For a while we were two ships passing eachother in the night, now we have both run aground in the SAME sand bar at the exact time. Thanks again guys, your insight is useful. I have little experience with such things... my parents have their faults but they have never been appart.

Jesus Bro. Sorry. My dad had to go to the Boston Eye & Ear Infirmary once after he had a piece of dirt fall in his eye while we were hiking at the Harrold Parker State Forrest.

A few months ago things got distant between Marcia & I. We have been together for almost SIX years, & more importantly are tied to each other permanantly through our three year old daughter Sofia.As of this past weekend she has decided to move on & wants to be with an old friend and ex. In some #@%$& up way as these things tend to happenat the exact same time one of my best friends ever whohappens to also be an ex had her heart broken.So I went from having a "separation" with Marcia to what is basically a divorce which made me absolutely miserable to falling back in love with someone that I ever really got over. My head is spinning, but the choice is clear. I need to stop fooling myslef. Marcia is convinced we will never be happy together and I've finally stopped fighting her. Julie in the mean time makes me so happy that I feellike a kid again. She understands me. We went for along drive last night in my '76 LeSabre and it was like bliss... like we do not have to speak to know what the other one is thinking. It's nice to have thatkind of connection. I'm not sure why I needed to post this but I just want to tell the world.

The most gorgeous Peterbilt 379 I've seen in a long time... in hugger orange driving through the back-bay of Boston with a huge load of sewer pipes on the trailer.

It's a Hon-Duh so there's much more effed up about it than just weelbase or over all length...

I've been buying & selling cars for a while now... the best way to sum it up is "CASH talks & Bull$h! WALKS". Two weeks ago XP and I went half/half on a 1996 Volvo 850 that was beat to f@#k, leaking more oil than the Exxon Valdez and had 170,000+ college girl miles on it. He cleaned out the car which resulted in three hefty bags of garbage and I took the photos of the car. We were going to split the selling price of the car once we flipped it to some yuppie for a considerable profit. But then when XP bought my Banana Boat off me I bought out his half of the Volvo. I listed the Volvo for $995 on craigslist with an honest descrption, I ended up having a few poeple give me a hard time about the car's dents, paint & the nasty, greasy oil leak residue... One guy who I told $700 for a bottom line backed out yesterday and in the end I sold it today for $450 to a Portugese guy who low balled me BUT did have cash in hand. To be honest with you if I had looked at your car I probably would have offered you even less.... I do not pay anything close to "market value" for a car, which is why I usually MAKE money when I sell a car not LOOSE it. You might have to deal with a few people like this. There's always a better deal around anotehr corner. I talked to a guy yesterday who bought a GORGEOUS 1970s Mercedes 300D form $100. You will have to be patient if you want to get top dollar for your car. I probably would have offered you $2300 for your car because I'd be buying it to clean it up and flip it for somewhere between $2700 - $3100. Just some food for thought.

Effin' disgusting. Communist China needs to go f**k off.

The guy in the neighborhood with a butternut yellow 1966 Buick Skylark ragtop is selling it so it's been on his front lawn for a while now. Then there's the gorgeous 1970 Chevelle SS I saw yesterday... it was a dark-teal metallic. Gorgeous, masculine color. Som other's that I have seen over the weekend. - 1965 Plymouth Valiant 2dr (original black paint) - Green BMW 2002 (1974?) - scummy red 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 ragtop - 1976 Buick LeSabre 4-door hardtop, painted "monkey $hit brown"... in my driveway!

I just wanted to clarify for the peanut gallery. :AH-HA_wink:
