Default I hate myself .. and i miss my deuce!!

It finally happened! I dont start the new job before 1. march, so first check is 1. april.... and i saw myself forced to sell the 32 ford roadster.... (and the 66 impala, but thats ok.. really it got a good home) But i lay sleepless over the ford! i spent over a thousand hours on it, built and engineered everything, and now its gone.... didnt think i could miss a stupid thing that much. but in the end i kept the malibu as it had 4 seats, windows.... locks etc etc.. stuff you dont find in a stack-injected, big block powered, manual shifted.. full independent suspension 32 ford....

sometimed i could sell the wife just for having suggested it first.. but the bame is mine in the end....

so i need another project this spring.. somthing that is not too expensiv eto get into, and is labour intensive...

how does a slammed, flat black, custom suspension/integral frame/rollbar 48 hudson sound?? perhaps with a turbocharged 300-6 ? (have all the turbo stuff) sound?

and what should i change my screen name to...
"The idiot formerly known as deuce" ?

Thumbs up

That sucks. Sorry to hear about that.
Try to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason, I tell myself.

I like it!

Don't beat yourself up too much. You did what you had to to survive and keep a roof over the head of you and your family and food on the table. You did all of this without looking to your neighbor and demanding he some how be responsible for your survival. I think you desrve a good pat on the back and reassurance that you did the right thing. You can always build a better car that you may like even more.

Only two things to say (instead of my usual full page...)

Cars are like busses -- there is another coming by every 15 minutes.

This is supposed to be a "hobby"... so think about all the fun you had
and all that you learned doing the '32...

I feel you. I have had to sell cars before for the same reason.
