Geez, you don't geek out on details at all, do ya?

You should write a book called "Loved and Lost (Cars) of the Pacific Northwest. A Memoir Of Automotive Excess."

Or not.

When I first joined Lateral-g I was starting on my Camaro then I saw your Nomad and was hooked on it. They are one of my favorite cars and would always go back and check it out every time I logged on. Its not even mine and I hate to see it go.

Thanks Wayne --- and yeah I kinda hated to part with it --- for me I have to remember that this is just a hobby. I'm not a "collector"... I like getting dirty and working on stuff... and while I've had fun working on the Nomad -- the entire car needs to be completely re-done if I was to keep it (I re-did the Red Vette at least 3 times top to bottom!)... and I just have other stuff I'd like to do now. When the kids were home -- I used the days while they were at school etc to bang away on the cars.... now with building a new house over here - that's going to take almost 2 years -- and with the new(er) track cars - I want to do more of that.... and realistically -- it'd be 3 years before I'd start that project and then a couple to complete... and I'd end up with the same basic car I had. It's the same reason I sold my '37 Ford to a buddy. I just knew I wasn't going to work on it for some time -- and then what's the point... ya end up just pushing 'em around the shop. I'd rather just acknowledge "life" and roll with it.

When the new house is done -- I want to build a "patina" hot rod... the kind you can drive in mud and snow... well maybe not the snow part... but that's what I decided I want to do. I'm kinda over the whole chrome and show car thing --- so will go racin' and road trippin'.

So not sure if the "detail" comment is about the interior -- or the details in my posts.... if it's my interior -- it's really easy to be a copy cat and remember things you've seen that you say "next time". If it's my writing.... I type fast -- and it's just the way I am. LOL


RE: Writing a book. It would be a better more accurate book if I titled it -- Wasted days and wasted nights - how to turn a perfectly good car into a loss.

My comment pretty much applies to everything you mentioned.

Thanks Jim!!


I hope she likes it... And I think the proof in the pudding so to speak will just be getting her behind the wheel - heading south out of Los Angeles and a nice cruise up Highway #1 --- and cursing around Monterey and Carmel.... that ought to get her hooked!
