25 years is a long damn time for a car to just be “sitting” without an engine. Not only are these cool pictures, but that’s GOT to feel good!

Congratulations!

Thanks. I was ambitious enough for all those years, but at 50 YO I was still very much into my career and family, raising 3 kids with my wife, putting them through school...just life. I would find time now and then to work on the car, but mostly NOT. When I retired, there were the family things to catch up on...a little travel, spiffing up the homestead, etc. In the last year or two, I have been spending major time on the car. Trouble is that at 75, I'm not quite as mobile as I once was, but I am every bit as determined to drive this SOB before my kids take my driver's license away.

(LOL!) I thought you were referring to the rather, uh, "pointed" lady in the Mako Shark prototype/concept car picture (#24,311), and I was wondering what you meant by "tail lights"!

There is a Grave Yard in OLD SAN JAUN that has hundreds of life size statues like this . Totally amazing.

I really have no idea. Somehow it followed me to this point in my life. It is metal, but I have no clue what kind. The undercarriage is bradded to the body.
