Bad Dream: AM I getting too attached to my Vette?

[Rain]

Hey Gang,

Bad Dream last night.

Thought I had parked my vette in a nice location. Lots of other cars in the lot, so I had parked on a side street from the venue.
Lots of bizarre "dream" stuff in between, but then we hear tires screaching outside and all go out to investigate.

I watch this car come flying past us and it bounces off a few other parked cars. Then it sideswipes the passenger side of my vette.
And the car never stops.

Then I remember wondering what to do to fix it.
OF course I was very upset. And it was funny, it was down to the fact that I wanted the original factory paint on my vette and didnt want it fixed and re-painted. I wanted to just store it as it was, and simply buy a new one.
LOL!

Do I hold my vette as being way too special for this world!???

Whew. Guess I was lucky, Susan's dream was all about babies.(we are due with our first Dec 11)

man felt life like didn't it?

i dream about my vette everyonce in awhile. one dream i dreamt when i first got it that i blew it up. just sitting in a parking lot and blamo. man i was mad the whole day dream or not....lol

BTW congrads on your soon to be new baby!

Freud would probably say that you had this dream due to fear of losing your baby ( the vette) because you are about to assume the responsiblity of the new baby you and Susan will soon be having. He would say that the damage done to the vette in your dream is a manifestation in your sub-concious that equates to the fear of the complications concerning the loss of a way of life because of the the new real baby. Me -- and Dr. Phil would just say it was only a dream!!!!!!!! Congratulations on the new one and keep us posted. Maybe we could organize a virtual baby shower.:L

HAHA
Thanks you guys on the well wishes.
As some of you know, Susan and I did careers all thru our 20s and early 30s. Now we have retired from the "punching a clock" and have moved to the next stage of our lives: Parenthood!

Virtual baby-shower - Sounds like a great idea!

Keep ya posted,
Rain

I like to try and take the best care of all my cars as possible. I'm always careful where I park, keep the cars clean and don't let the kids in the car with food.

The other day I was driving my 78 nice and slowly past a soccer field. All of a sudden I see this ball comes flying right at me! It smashes right into my door! The window was open so I'm glad it only hit the door. I was scared to get out of the car and look at the door. I was especting to see a large, ball sized dent. Luckily no damage was done. Whew!

We all like to baby and take crae of our cars. I learned a valuable lesson that day. There are certain things out of our control. Don't worry too much about the car and get it on the road and enjoy it. You can worry about it day and night and take all precautions and wham, a soccer ball can fly into you!

I won't touch the meaning of the dream (might have been heartburn or something) and I know I don't remember mine very well at all. However, congrads on the impending arrival!
Haven't heard much from you lately buddy, thought maybe you were on tour or something.

Ive been here. Mostly causing waves on the Humor Mill Forum. (same stuff, pushing the envelope and such)

Have hooked up my XM radio in the office and can't get away from the wonderful range of music I know have at my fingertips.. Stuck on Special X now. mostly parodies and covers.

(dread zeplin doing "Stairway to Heaven", Buckwheat Zydeco doing "Beast of Burden", Mae West doing "Day Tripper", plus just heard a piano version of "Relax" orig. done by Frankie goes to Hollywood, and a swing band version of Poison's "Unskiny Bop")

Vette is fine. Needs a bit of weatherstripping replaced.
BIGGEST complaint is that it seems no matter where I go in it, someone opens a door into me. Finding new dings each week. Some troubled soul decided to run a key across the nose while at the Staples last week! bastards!

Gonna start parking at the far end of the lot if I Have to.

(end rant) hahaha

Take care you guys - could have been heart burn.. had fresh boiled gulf shrimp, sausage, and corn last night. plus a few cold beers.

I hear you. Luckily (hey wait a minute...) I have a handicap parking sticker that keeps me in fairly close, observed and uncrowded parkiing spots so no real lot carnage yet.

One of those two dreams would be a nightmare for me...:eyerole

I was especting to see a large, ball sized dent.

On a fiberglass car? :L

_ken :t

 

[irf]

It didn't dawn on me that the car didn't dent because of the fiberglass body!

Don't worry about it ... enjoy your vette. Relax & take a listen to an earthy Tom Waits song titled "(you're innocent when) You Dream."

If the accident had REALLY happened, you would have to decide what your NEXT Corvette would be! Ho Hum
