just an update on this. went back today to give it the old eagle eye
and was dissappointed as i saw a few things that i didn't notice the
other day. after looking at it i noticed the weatherstripping
between the window and the top were worn. also little cosemetic things
inside plus headlight doors weren't adjusted right. tires would have to
be replaced soon too. what really caught my eye and gave me a bad vibe
was the vin tag in the windshield had a coating of rust on it which
leads me to believe that there might be more rust than you can see from
the outside. so i didn't even want to get involved. but on a brighter
note, i wound up buying a 1990 vette. what a honey. white w/ red
leather interior and is in great shape and runs great. loved driving it
also. guy bought the car last year and he decided it wasn't for
him. only thing though it has 120k miles on it but it has been kept up
so i am confident it will be a wise purchase. sorry tux, guess i'll
have to be a white sheep now.

thanks for all the thumbs up. know what you mean scott but can't you just start replacing windows on front with garage doors?
seriously i would love to have a big garage for a few cars and work
area too. bry.. wife went in to be scoped from both sides. she
had an accident 35 yrs ago and has quite a few problems from it. the
gastro doctor here kept telling her she couldn't take any more
nexium for her stomach as according to him she was taking too much. her
scopes down her throat showed she had barrett's esophogus (which is
precancerous). finally went to a specialist at jefferson and he said
that sometimes people need more and doubled her meds. after a
couple years he said he had to scope her out as it was overdue and when
he got done he said an amazing thing. he told us her throat was normal
and she does not have the barrett's anymore. he said it was
unusual for it to clear completely like it did and she told him her
secret of a lot of talking with the big guy upstairs.

what a great day it was today. wasn't expecting to be able to get the
90 until tues or weds but when i got home from work found out some
things went faster than expected and now it's in my driveway. will be
going to motor vehicles tomorrow a.m. and get the title transferred and
plates for it. most likely i will be going for a cruise in it as soon
as i put the plates on it. hope i remember to get home in time to take
the wife to drs appt.
