Ya gatta hear this
A buddy of mine has a near mint 70 C-10 lwb that he purchased a couple years ago for hardly nothing. Well, the other day he bought 2 more, along with a rolling chassis (package deal) for $600. He said that the guy CAME TO HIM because the guy knew that he liked old stuff. Is anyone else here THAT lucky?

Randy the last time I heard someone say I know you like old stuff he was talking to my wife and pointing at me.

Here's one for ya. A friend of mine has a sister that lives in another state. The sister's roomate inherits her father's '68 short fleetside (with matching topper). The truck is in mint condition, never spent a night outside in it's life, one of those trucks we all dream of, low miles, and treated like a baby. The gal hardly ever drives it, just kept it for sentimental reasons. Well now, she has decided to GIVE it to my friend, because she knows he likes these old trucks, and that he will take care of it and never sell it. When he told me about it a couple weeks ago, my jaw dropped, I couldn't believe it. I don't know what I'd do if something like that happened to me, but I'd probably have to change my drawers first thing, he-hee!

I drove a 77 Camaro in high school so most people knew that I was into old cars. A couple from church gave me a 71 Ford Torino 4 door. Only had like 85,000 miles on it with a 351 Cleveland. I eventually ended up giving it to the daughter of the people that gave it to me. Then was given a 78 F100 that didn't run. After a few months of fiddling with it I gave it to my brother. Finally a guy told me that if I could get his truck out of his yard, I could have it. I went to look and it was a 72 C10. I did a little work on it and had it towed to the transmission shop for a rebuild. Thing ran fine afterwards and is now my daily driver.

I have gotten some great deals on stuff from people who stopped at my house. I have also came home and found a bunch of parts stacked up at my garage door. Never did find out who left the stuff.
Since i have multiple vehicles at my place people stop all the time wanting to sell me parts and vehicles. Sometimes its good deals. Sometimes they leave mad because they think their stuff is worth tons of money.

I have always been baffled by luck. Many say you make your own luck, I don’t buy that. If you work at something and get it, that’s not luck, you earned it.
So wtf IS luck any way? We all know people, like this guy, who just seam to always be in the right place at the right time. the bastards are always catching breaks. getting great jobs, women,money,smart kids who stay out of trouble, never get tickets or get in wrecks, are always winning money, trips, prices (the bastards always win a good prize at the company xmas party every freakin year) WTF! meanwhile back at the ranch. guys like me couldn't catch a break to save their life. I have to work for everything. anyone know of a voodoo luck dance, or should I sacrifice a goat? something, geez. one other thing i have noticed, not always,(not including you guys im sure =) ) but often enough to catch my attention... these lucky people are usualy di$k heads, no morals, selfish, never work that hard. anyone else noticed this?
