sickness

we all suffer from the take the homeless puppy in syndrome... except we do it with old cars. i am 56 and ive been doing this for 40 years now. and with the lower energy levels that one experiences with age, the urge is less... but it is still there. i see an old car sitting by the road and i say to myself (not out loud in front of my long suffering wife) " I bet i could get that running".

i have dragged home too many hulks, fixed them up real good, and sold them real cheap!

just remember when you get the urge...IT IS ALWAYS EASIER TO BUY THEM THAN IT IS TO SELL THEM"

that is why i have two perfectly nice mercedes too many and an extra suburban. (for sale cheap).
