Have you wondered where the convertible might have gotten to?

Actually, I know where it ended up. Sold the wreck to a friend in the Corvette club and he parted it out. I got $600 and he -- well, he did OK. It was a good deal for both of us -- I didn't have to look at it every day and try to figure out what was salvageable. I broke a lot of stuff that night, including a bent frame, trailing arm and even a cracked differential.Have you wondered where the convertible might have gotten to?

Bill,
I start working on some aspect of the car and figure it will take a few hours to finish what I want to do. About the third day I realize it isn't going to be easy. After a week I usually take a break and do something else, like change a lightbulb in the house. Then at least I feel like I've accomplished something.
- Anything that can rust, crack, warp or get worn out of shape - will do so shortly after it's no longer available over the parts counter.
- These parts talk to each other, and when one decides it's had enough, word gets around and several of his close buddies will decide to join in....
- You usually discover these late in the evening on weekends and holidays, or during the last few minutes you have to work on it before you're supposed to take your wife out to dinner.
- There is no such thing as buying a better quality tool than you think you actually need.
I agree.
Those observations are soooo true!!
