Married to the Little Old Lady From Pasadena
From The Wolf Den -
Wolf; "You want to good news or the bad news?" Andi; "Bad" Wolf ; "You apparently are on a *fast-track to get a speeding ticket in every state of the nation. Congratulations." Andi; "I didn't get a speeding ticket!" Wolf; "According to the paradise vacation destination state of Iowa you did." Andi; "I didn't get pulled over." Wolf; "They didn't need to. They have a speeding camera and took a picture." Andi; "Those bastards!" *Andi (my wife) is a travelling nurse with a lead foot. This isn't the first speeding ticket she's gotten this way. |
....and as absolutely no surprise to me this morning
From the Wolf Den;
Andi; "Promise you won't be mad at me" Wolf; "Now you know that depends on what you are about to tell me but I promise to try" Andi; *Digs around in her purse and pulls out a piece of paper handing it over to me Wolf; "Going to add Michigan to your list are you?" Andi; "Yes, they got me doing 74 in a 70." Wolf; :| |
I'm thinking she either needs to fly or have a chauffeur or choose another occupation. She could lose her license.
However, you could use the tickets to make an interesting fabric design when her car needs to be re-upholstered. :blink: |

I saw one for sale not too long ago and wished I had my camera (cell phone) with me to take a picture. I pressed my face against the glass and had this rush memories of me as a small child. It was almost like a flashback. I could feel what the inside handles felt like, the window lever, the seatbelt. Pretty damn wild. I don't know what the original color of it was, but it was purple by the time I came along. Not sure of the year, but it looked a bit different from the above. He got rid of it after the civic association of the neighborhood told him he had to remove it from the top of the driveway. He gave it to a friend at work he knew would love it. Good memories. |
She's B-A-C-K !

This is not my Valiant, but one just like it (1968 Valiant Signet) It was my first car, and I called her Betsy the Blue Bomber. I loved that car. It saved my life more than once. I loved working on it, I could literally climb into the engine, there was that much room under the hood. http://www.rawhorsepower.com/MuscleC...rabber_red.jpg My 1972 Ford, Grabber Maverick was Bumble Bee Yellow and Black. It was an awesome car, I am not into Ford, but this one was one of my favorites. Nice heavy car. |

The only problem is the new back window. It zips in and there is a two inch gap of where it isn't closed all the way. How the guy missed that, I don't know. He has the clip that closes the zipper. I didn't think to get it back from him because there would be no reason to. So, I guess I will have to take some time off work to drive up there to get that fixed. It will only take a minute to do, but the hour drive makes it all very frustrating. Of course, he isn't responding to my emails, but that is status quo with him. But, yes, the frustration of dealing with him and the wait is worth it for the car to look exactly the way I wanted and to know that it was set up safely (I have spacers added). He has a great reputation and part of what he does is build race cars, so you know he knows safety. Thanks for asking. |

I can put my top back manually (if needed), and with it being a small car I can do it right from my seat. Is manual even an option for you? |
