Default Its alive!

Been awhile...
My car will be back on the street as soon as the new tires get here... Maybe by the fourth. Spent my free time this weekend bringing it back to life. I just fired it up and everything looks good so far. Just a few loose ends left. Then its off to a certain shop for some minor changes.

Need a sticker... mine expired in '02.

Nothing was wrong with the car at all. It just went into storage about five years ago.
I finished it back then and started working allot, and the military thing came up.
Then I broke my neck. Then my wife flipped out and left me and the kid... just bullshit. But I always saved the car, got fixed and started making around 100K a year. So its time to bring it back. I don't even know in what direction I'll go with it next. Hell, I may sell it and start over with a vette, or tube chassis the thing... back half maybe, Texas mile car? I dunno... right now its good for low 10's maybe and only has 18k miles so its good for what it is.

Sorry to hear your wife flipped out. Guess her and the girl you two set me up with were similar in that regard, since they were friends. lol.

Her Dad told her that my cars were a waste of money and that I should go to church more.

All I can say to that one is "how ya like me now?"

Werd. I've been saying that a lot lately...

I don't worry about it anymore bro. You can never control the actions of another person, free will. I don't let the actions of others cause me distress. I concentrate on my own actions and I make sure those actions are honorable.
