That one GB drive, I swear it looked like the 40whiners had been taking sign stealing lessons from the Astros. Every play the Whiners were there waiting for them :BangHead:

Good thing I only tack welded it, the brackets need to move up 1/2 inch on one side and 3/4 inch on the other. It's out of adjustment but I would still like it up more because I'm taking into account that new upholstery will be a fluffier than this beat down crap

You are painfully reminding me of the ‘74 Dart Sport 318 that I bought back in 1985 for $500. It was medium blue with a white 1/2 vinyl top and a blue interior with white seats...and the rear was a fold-down. I bought it as a parts car for pieces for my ‘70 Dart build, so I stripped it and junked the rest.

It was a good running car and the interior was in great shape. But I was only 22 years old and didn’t care. I wanted to build my ‘70 more than keep that beaker on the road.

I regret that decision.

I wish this was a dart sport.

There are still a lot of dusters around and they are becoming increasingly popular, but dart sports are getting really really hard to find

Yeah, I know. If I knew then what I know now, I would have saved that car and made it nice...and kept it.

But it was the ignorance of youth and a time where the old Mopars were a dime a dozen and nobody cared about them. Junkyards were full of them and no one cared unless it was some rare HP version...and even then, they didn’t care much.

I was also too busy getting on with my life and growing my career to care very much either.

My 440 Convertible RR comes to mind. 4 speed. A 500.00 car!

That is why everytime someone asks me if I'm going to sell anything, I laugh.

I have had the good fortune to be able to afford to pick up cars when I came across them and i have a place to store them.

I'm not going to regret down the road.

I will have a baby someday and he or she will get everything and whatever happens, happens, but it won't be my regret

Well. I can only offer one piece of advice on having a child. Don’t wait until you are 40 years old like me and my wife did. It gnaws at me every day that I will likely leave this planet before I get so see my grandchildren grow up (or even born) and won’t be there for my daughter to help her navigate the years after her 30s.

I really wish I could see what she becomes when she reaches my age.
 
Like this game wasn't depressing enough...Now you guys are going to discuss the cars you wish you still had. :( :BangHead:
