What phase are you going through? - Page 4 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Gee, it has been a long time since I've been back here!

Oh, and there's nothing, I repeat, nothing like going through the, "Oh my god I need chocolate now or I'm gonna hurt some people" phase. You know? And right around that time there is NEVER ANY chocolate in the house!

I am in the 'SOMEBODY ROLE PLAY WITH ME NOW BEFORE I HURT SOMEONE' phase and have been in it for a few months.

I am in an "Old Car Buying and Restoration Phase", starting with my '66 T-Bird, which I got to work on some today(man, I love to hear that 428 run). Just a few hours ago, I found a 99% restored '55 Hudson Wasp Custom for sale out in California for an unbelievable price; the guy who owns it is a Hudson collector(he's got eight of 'em)and he's just getting, in his own words, "too old to enjoy 'em anymore", so he'd rather let them go to someone who can appreciate these rare old cars. For those of you who don't know, the Hudson Wasp was the luxury version of the "Fabulous Hudson Hornet", made famous recently by "Doc Hudson", a '51 Hudson Hornet, in the movie, Cars. The car in CA is red-and-white and was restored by a car restoration class at one of the universities there(now how cool is that-an old car restoration class!). The only things that need to be done with it are to replace the electrical thingie that controls the overdrive, since it got "fried" when the car was upgraded from the standard six-volt system to an eight-volt system without first upgrading that part of the electrical system, so the overdrive won't work, and it is needed for any speed and for fuel economy(Hudsons were known for fuel economy, even back when it wasn't needed and gas was .15 per gallon). It also has some pin-hole leaks in the seam of the gas tank, which have to be sealed, both minor problems and easy to deal with. I've applied for financing online with a company that specializes in financing old cars, and the guy can have it delivered right to me from CA for $650.00, which is really a good deal. I finally seem able to fulfil a nearly life-long desire to own a few old cars and show them, and finding that Hudson has really got me bitten by the "old car bug".

Here's a pic of the car in question, by the way. Now who WOULDN'T want a ride like THIS?

How far are you from Ramona, CA? That's where the car is, though I won't be able to get away from work until Christmas vacation. Well, OK, I've got three days off for Thanksgiving, but I'm so no going anywhere on November 24 other than in front of my tv! I wouldn't be able to drive it back home cross-country, though, until that electrical part gets replaced and the fuel tank sealed, and it would probably cost me more to drive out there in my RAV-4 than I can have the Hudson shipped from CA to SC!

Lol, about 520 miles (looks like Ramona's right near San Diego).

You're invited for Christmas anyways. Because I say so.

I have a Rav-4 too, what a coinkidink.

Yeah it cost me almost 100 dollars each way for gas to drive from here to San Diego, so nix that!

I'm going to the "I'm Bored" phase, and I feel like drawing a moustace on some person in front of a magazine.
