Default Re: My other 2 "Lost" deals

The first car, I lost entirely to my own fault. Simply, the car was a street car. A used car lot had it. Truthfully, wasn't sure it was what I wanted. Looked at it 2-3 times. When I had finally decided to make a pass at the car. They moved it on, said they sold it. Probably went to an auction. Car sat on that lot for 2 months. That one really didn't bother me. It got me intrigued enough to pursue acquiring another vehicle.

Now, the second vehicle, was advertised on this site. Was pretty much a twin to the one I lost out on this weekend. I emailed and called this guy, same situation, got photos and information. Called him in the middle of the week to set up going to see it. He informed me, had another guy coming that Sunday to look at it. Being the type of person I am, I backed off since someone had made a prior appointment. This would've been a 5-7 hour trip to Missouri for me.

So, taking into consideration what was discussed in my prior thread. I should've said "F--- that", and rolled down there and stole that one out from under him (the person coming that Sunday). Just like what was done to me? I reckon, I'm just too honest, I have a problem with that line of thinking. Irronicallly, a friend of mine suggested to me, we should do just that, He offered to drive.

I've both called and emailed on various cars on this site and others. Looked at one here locally, that one will be someones project nightmare, trust me. Like it's been said both on here and by a couple of my buddies, there's plenty of cars out there. I will just need to adjust to the times.

Thanks for listening guys. Got work to do.
Don't you already have a 66 or 67 nova that is already tubbed and has a cage? Man if I were you I'd be aaaallll about getting that one going again. The hard parts done and in my opinion it just don't get no cooler than those two years for the nova.
