WHAT??!?!?!?     You Have to PAY for them ?

i bought mine from a good friend at work.  i have always wanted one and after my husband passed, i used part of the money to get this one.  i haven't regreted it at all.

I went to Afghanistan and got COMBAT PAY!!!  Instead of new clothes and furniture, my wife bought the car she knew I was looking for,  it was waiting for me when I got home!!

Paid cash fer both...and still payin...and payin...and payin...just like that danged Energizer Bunny.

Paid cash for the car, cash for the new engine, cash for the misc parts. Just paid cash for a bunch of new interior pieces sitting in the garage. I sense a pattern here... 

A loan from the teacher's credit union.   That was before Debbie got sick.   She was TICKED, I did it without telling her first.  Then I pointed out that the frozen drinks that she got a couple of each day, when added up, totaled more in 3 years than I spent on the the Vette in the 3 year loan.  That really didn't make her any happier.  She got over it.

Found mine (a white 77) in a neighbors garage.  It had been parked for 5 years.  My 10 yr old grandson was with me and said " Grandpa, that's the coolest car I've ever seen".  I told him that when he was 16, it was his.  He's 14 now .  I actually swapped labor on my neighbors kitchen remodel for the car.  As you can imagine, after 5 years it required everything with seals.  I've put about 3 grand in it and still have a little to do.  It's been great fun for me and my grandson.  Well worth the investment.  I think I'm going to miss it.  Maybe he'll let me borrow it from time to time.

 Believe it or not: I taded a 1993 Mercury Sable Wasgon straight across. About $800. But have put over $10 k in it

stock options ...

Well I sold my 84 in March; then I  located the 64 I had sold in 1997. ... in September me and my check book agreed to pay cash for the 77 and continue to save change and rebates for parts; I'm happy, hope the car is with me.
