My car will be in a coma for years

WADS56 · 02-26-2002, 04:56 AM

My car will no longer beable to get the love and attention in needs from my money clip. I am now engaged to my girlfriend that i have been with for over four years. We need to save for a house so I have to give up the drag racing thing for a long time. I am selling some parts off of my 79 so I can turn it into a street monster if I can. Anyone want a proshifted trans for a good price

Congrats on your engagment! Sorry to hear about your car though. It happens to all of us, not me yet. The best advice my dad gave me was buy the car of your dreams before you get married because after that you'll never get it. Good Enough about 2 weeks later I found my '69 Mach 1 and decided to buy it.

Take Care Bud,
Best of Wishs and Luck!

Congratulations, Wade!

If it's any consolation, I got married a year and a half ago, built a new house, purchased a new Taurus for the wife, just had a baby boy 2 months ago and I still have time and money for my Mustang - albeit not as much. My wife is very understanding and supportive of my Mustang hobby as I am of her interests. In fact we are saving for my ProCharger!

Take care and again, congratulations.

Eric

That sucks! Since I got engaged, my Mustang has been thriving! I'm just lucky that my fiance likes her more than I do

Glad to hear you're happy though, too bad you can't have your cake and eat it too. I do

...oh wait....then again...I'M BROKE
