    Ditto on debt free, I hate the feeling of being in debt.

    And thanks for the info on the body shop thing, I'll get on it.

    Well here is the thing... I don't know...lol

    I just know I want another toy...

    I know my Camaro is not the fastest thing out there...but its enough to make me bucker...and it goes left and right...as well as straight VERY WELL.

    The vette is an awesome toy... And I love hoping in it and ripping around...esp while the Camaro is down...

    I love the new c7 vetted... Which will be the whole package..at 50+k before any customizing...


    I love the c6 zr1s and zo6s... Also then whole package... But from 30-90k...


    I also like things like the Nissan gtr..but at 80+ used.. That's hard to swallow as a cop..

    I also like the last gen supras...but at 20+k I think..its just another old car...

    Customizing the Bette has crossed my mind...but I have suspicions it was wrecked hard before...and well that does not make it a good base.... And even then its not the whole package (which is OK...but that's part of my dilemma)

    Finally whe I was in high school I had three friends that had 70.5- 73 camaros..and I was in love. One even had ac....

    But to restore one ,makes me rethink the newer vettes... And to buy one restored makes me think the way I did about the supra...


    Its like a triggers fro,m thinking about any of the cars I like... Pushes me to another...

    Personally, I'm over the new cars. Way too much money for something that will deprecate rapidly. I look at it like this, I can buy a $3-5k car, put $10-15k into it and have exactly what I want for less than a new one. Plus its worth more in a year than the new one and most likely faster. My next car will be a 73 vette or another 78 t/a.

    The new sander is great! I was able to sand the new hood and a front fender in a half hour before I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. As an added bonus, we were told we might not have to work Saturday night. As long as the humidity isn't 80% like it is now I should be in good shape!

    Got a call back to interview for one of the state jobs I applied for. I am happy to see the ball finally moving after all the rejections.
