Hey Eric,
Sorry I wasn't able to respond to your post you made in the Classifieds section, I've been busy as who knows what for a while. :/

Turn him into a crewbie, and we all can keep an eye on your car for ya. |
I didn't actually. He actually lives in California and drove the car down there. Right now he's in Iraq, and buying the car was among the first things for him to do while on his 2 month R&R. He said that his dad rebuilds engines for a living and him and his dad have plans for the car. Sadly, about a day or two after the car was sold, I got a call asking if I knew that there were problems with the radiator, because the morning after he bought it, the car had coolant all over the ground, and the radiator was toasted, as well as the serpentine belt.
I was a little confused by this, since I had driven this car every season for five years without a problem, but a little sad to hear that it was bad enough that it got flatbedded and towed away, but eh, what can you do?
I do have him on MSN Messenger, but it looks like we've already gone our seperate ways. At least the car has gone to someone who has the tools and capabilities to care for it well.

Well, hopefully it all turns out for the best and he can do the work to it that you always wanted to have get done.

Yeah, I feel confident it'll turn out for the best. Unlike other prospective buyers, I didn't feel bad at all letting it go, since I felt that it would be going to someone that could take better care of it than I did...Repairs and maintenance were just getting too much, and I had to make a decision.
But oh well, life goes on. 
I hope the economy picks up a bit so we can sell my dad's 82 C3 glasstop. 
The money from the GTA was used to buy this since a more family friendly car was missing from the garage:
I myself don't like SUVs, but I'm glad that the rest of the family likes it. Now as to what I should get next, that's a mystery in itself. I really want to wait and see what 2007 will bring. I hope I'll have enough money saved up by then. |
