I will be a dad!!!!!!!

exgmguy · 03-24-2001, 08:26 AM

I have not been here for a while because I have been WAY busy. My Fiance' and I we planning on getting married this fall. Then we find out she is 5 weeks pregnant. WHOA!!! Now we are pushing the wedding up to July 1st because no bride wants to have a bowling ball under her dress in the wedding pictures! I am so geeked.

Unfortunately I have put my Vortech on Ebay. I just wont have the cash to do it right for a while. The bidding is up to 900.00 so that will help. I guess i'll keep the juice on it again for another year, skip the paint job, the Tremec, etc.... It is ok though.

It is a little stressful getting all this stuff organized, but I know it will all be worth it. I feel like the happiest guy in the world!

Congrads man. My wife and I are trying too. Make sure the baby seat fits in the back seat so it can grow up in the right automobile.

I've never run it except on the street, it has new wheels & tires, new exaust, and that about covers it. Looking to change a lot in the future including engine. Any ideas are appreciated.

Congrats! I am expecting my first. after 7 years of trying it was a total surprise when my wife called and told me she is pregnant. well there goes the set of heads I was going to get this summer (it is worth it!) it is amazing in 2 seconds my priorities changed.

Congrats man, you'll have to teach the baby how to turn the NOS bottle on. My buddy and I are going to teach his little one how to turn the bottle on. I wish you the best of luck in your marriage and with the little surprise.

Hey! Great news! Congrats both counts (wedding & baby!)

I also had to put aside my car "stuff" for a while when our little guy came along over 4 yrs ago, but it's well worth it!

You can't even describe the feeling of being a parent to someone who hasn't yet experienced it.

I hope all goes well with the wedding, the pregnancy & the birth!

I guess there'll be 2 types of bottles you'll be dealing with in the near future!

Thanks a lot guys. It is wierd how my priorities have done a 180 in no time. At least I don't have to sell the Mustang! WOOHOO!!!
I'll take it as it comes and try to do the best I can.

My ebay auction ended yesterday. I got 1375.00 for the Vortech. At least I still have the spray. It would suck to be a mere mortal and have to run on all motor!!!!

j/k

Thanks again,

Rob
