G/f's gonna kill me
Found a 66 pantina burb for 1500 - sign said engine and brakes rebuilt.
Going to look more later tonight and see if I can poke it and what works and what doesnt. Wife has made me promise to keep no more than a year tho. By wife, I mean serious g/f, not wife, bTW>

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
Those style burbs are awesome. I saw a real nice one at a car show last summer and loved it.

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
Why would your girlfriend (G/F) kill you if your wife said it was ok

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
You guys are killing me. I bought my truck from a guy my girlfriend knew and we ran into him randomly at HH one night, him and I got talking and he mentioned about his friend that needed to sell it. Looked at it, bought it, GF was happy that I was happy. Started spending more time fixing it then with the GF and she got jealous. Told her to get a hobby. Anyway, still have the truck and not the girlfriend. She was hot but a real PITA and to be honest, it was a good trade! And less expensive to boot!

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
It took me 4 years to build my truck... mainly just worked on it on weekends... I probably went through 6 girlfriends during the process because they could not understand why the truck was so much more important then they were.... So i sent them packing... You nag - You pack... Its simple! Lol.... I will be getting married soon too but this time I found one that likes cars and trucks.... This year I am going to let her make a few passes in my Nova at the track and She wants me to build her a first gen Camaro... It sure does make it easy to spend more time in the garage than the living room!!

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
Trucks last longer then relationships anyway, and besides the Burb would never get jealous if you wanted to take the C10 out.

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
"Here's to wives and girl friends, may they never meet". Ooops wrong thread.
My wife and I have an agreement. I like trucks, she likes jewelry so at Christmas I buy jewelry, she buys truck parts, on birthdays I buy smaller jewelry, she buys truck parts, on our anniversary I buy her a thingy and she buys truck parts. This way we both get what we want and it doesn't cost any more because I would have had to buy jewelry AND truck parts the other way.

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
It all comes from the same paycheck in my house so I'm buying the jewelry AND the truck parts either way. I can't complain though, I have plenty of toys and the wife doesn't hassle me too much.

Re: G/f's gonna kill me
I am wondering how it worked out after he "poked it". Usually makes my wife happy.
