There was this girl I knew in High school. Really Cute!!  She came over one day and jumped in the shower because my parents were out of town......

Long story short, I just kept working on my GTO

I don't know what is wrong with me  :rotz:
PICS!!! :boogie: :icon_smile_big:



The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Sacrificed the wife,......but the divorce gave me total freedom, and greater financial stability,.............and  MO (par) money in my pocket!..........so is that a sacrifice? ::)  :yesnod:


Not sure if I'd call that a "sacrifice", maybe a "sound financial move"...  Divorce wasn't my idea, but I'll be damned if I don't have a whole lot better financial situation, and a YOUNGER girlfriend.  :D





      They say them thar de-vorces are spensive!...............................but that 's cause, they be worth it!!!!!!..............better to suffer the quick stab of divorce,........................than the long  burning tear of  marriage :yesnod: ;D

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
      a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
      acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

I was in the garage one time. My wife yelled to me "you touch that car more then you touch me". I think she was getting jealous.


thats something my wife will never say, all though she has asked me if there was something to the car I could be doing.  ;D

I did what i could when i could for 6 years with out much sacrifice. Went through several relashionships
moving the car here and there. Then I met my wife , on are first date I told here I love my charger and
my drag racing and if you don't like it then you are with the wrong man. Turned out she loved my charger almost as much I do. She helped me out with the resto kind of cool both of us under the car working on it. And no need for her to get jealous of her, when i put the back seat in the charger for the first time we
had to Cristen it,(allot of room in there with out the buckets). But the 7th year I couldn't take it anymore
I wanted it on the road and for a year I spent allot of time in the garage and away from my daughter which I'm not happy about. I got a loan, maxed out my credit cards, and spent all my extra money on her. But
now she is done and me and the family have a blast with her going for cruises or to a show. Would I do all over again?    HELL YA ;D

I had to move out of a good apartment because the landlord didn't like my car.
I've also sold a '67 Mustang, '68 Firebird convert, a Fender Strat and amp, an AR-15 and a couple of arcade machines ( Star Wars, Ms Pacman) for money for my cars.
The Mustang is my blower, the Firebird is pretty much the engine in the GTX, the rifle is into the GTX and the Strat and amp and arcade machines are in the Charger plus a bunch of cash in both and still going.  I also sold a '69 GTX for spare cash and parts too.
Oh yea, we cancelled going to Mopars at the Strip last year for my engine for the Charger.

Just had to decide where the priorities were. I really miss the Firebird but I'm more happy with the Mopars.

I'm with you Mike!!!! Funny how with one less income we end up with more money. :yesnod: I was getting divorced from wife #2 during that summer I spent  block sanding the General, remember? I found it to be good therapy, it kept me out of the bottle for those very intense months.  :boxing_smiley:
    As far as sacrifices, the money doesn't bother me, I go to work every day and make more. The real sacrifice is the time, you have only a finite amount of that: you can't "make" any more of it. Though, like I said, it kept me busy and out of trouble. The end result was worth the sacrifice. The satisfaction of doing it myself feels great, and having it done has enabled  me to enjoy some really great times, road trips, cars show etc. As long as it isn't crashed or stolen I'll have the rest of my life to enjoy it !!!! Sacrifice= worth it!!!!

Hey Mike,and Al, I with you on that sacrifice in spirit!,but that one would cost me,about 6 of my 11 Mopars,the house, the new garage,and 9 years of child support! I guess I will revert back to the bottle and continue on status quo! It's cheaper to keep her! If that fails,I will throw my tools down,and give the wife twenty miniutes of my individed attention,before getting back to work on the Dodge!
