I don't know if anyone could ever accuse me of living right.

My wife is the one that gets the deals. Except when she married me. That wasn't such a great deal. She messed up there.

Donated our old lawn tractor . Kid pulled up and asked about it a few days ago . Said he wanted it put would need to see if he could swing the cash . I have seen him mowing lawns around town with a funky push mower . He also works at the Stewart’s gas station . Asked a few people around town seems the kid works and does the side hustle of lawns all to pay for community college by himself . So I asked him if he wanted the mower he said ya but he couldn’t afford it . So I told him it was his and come pick it up . He was ecstatic and came by with his old beat up s10 and we loaded it .

Nice!

**special-K** · 08-25-2022, 09:11 PM

I'm glad you did that, Mark. That was a great idea.

I went to see my mom last weekend. There is this ultra cheap food store she likes to go to. They sell overstock, damaged packages, etc... really cheap. here I am a healthy man with his 92 year old mom and when she broke out her checkbook this elderly man, not much younger than her, told her "Don't write that check". He said the Lord told him to pay for it, he broke out fifty and a couple bucks cash, and paid. Told the cashier gal to keep the change. My mom was deeply struck, said she got goosebumps. It struck me, too.

well since i'm still waiting on the word to bring my truck to the paint shop for a re-do,i thought i'd dust off the old wagoon and head to a little Friday night car get together an hour from home at a place called The Masstown Market.lots of neat old cars and trucks,here's just a few.

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-27-2022, 04:22 AM

That looks like fun!

I like the Corvair in the back of the one pic. Since the Corvair thread I've kind of got the itch to get one. (again)

An old guy up here was selling one just down the street from me for $300. Great deal. Only problem is that I wasn't up here at the moment. I was in Los Angeles. It was gone by the time I got here.

**Boog** · 08-27-2022, 06:46 AM

I remember in high school a classmate had a black Corvair Monza Spyder I believe it was with thin white walls and wire wheel covers w/spinners and chrome tips on the exhaust pipes. Had that larger engine. Man, that was a sharp car.

Nice wagon and Yes, All very nice. Can't wait for the fall weather to get out to a few show-n-shines around here, right now it's entirely too damned hot, plus almond harvest is in full swing, so we have dust everywhere...and allergies!

That orange paint on that 67 really jumps out at you!

thank you sir.i've had the wagon since 1999,bought it in Blueridge,Ga from the man who bought it new but it sat for years and years.alot of work to get it back up and running and looking like something.the paint on that 67 was almost Peach but with the sun shining on it,made it look more orange than it was,but very nice.

I've never had one either had one either. But I always wanted one.

I guess it's in my blood. When I was a kid there was a neighbor that had 2 of them. A 66 coupe and a 64 Spyder convertible with the turbo. I just thought that they were cool as all get out.

The coupe was yellow. We called it the "Cheese Vair'

**special-K** · 08-27-2022, 01:09 PM

Speaking of Corvairs... Waldo Davis. that man inspired me into auto restorations. A friend's dad, ole waldo was always out in the garage shop or in the driveway tinkering with his Corvairs. This was before they were antique but AACA voted them in as classics due to their otherwise historic value. Every nut and bolt on down to the stencil and crayon markings, absolute detail. Richard, my friend, had a Spyder convertible. I kept up with Waldo after Richard moved to Florida. I was 20 when I bought a '66 VW Bus. He let me pull an 85hp from one of his parts cars and have it. I feel bad I never did do that swap after he did that for me. I always wanted a Corvair-powered VW camper

Not familiar with this event and how do you explain it to the environmentalist?

In fact, I would be surprised if they were not there protesting. Just curious.

Right, I don't get it, either-are those actually ducklings?
