my neighbors are all 70+
theyre fabulous--mr martin across the street was a vw guy until he had a knee surgery and sold me his 68(cherry...68k miles- bought it new...sold it to me in 2001) it was still on its original clutch! sadly it lost its rear seal on the interstate, where i parked it and hoofed my ass to a fueling station...when i got back with a tow dolly--it was gone.
the police called 3 years later to ask if we found it. did i miss something? ive seriously thought about carrying a chain and picking up a car from the side of the road...
the headlys on the other side love my "lil' ole cawrs" they seem enthusiastic about my love of quality old cars-- the guy kittiecorner from us is a mustang person. you KNOW what that means...revving a ****ty old '87 5.0 with a coffeecan exhaust before he leaves, during driving and before he turns it off... they appreciate someone that likes old things heh heh. lloyd was a truck driver for a long time, hes about 80, so the mercedes is still a very respectable car to him! he likes to come over and hear/smell it run(its true...diesel gets to you after a while) betty(his wife) thinks theres nothing better, shes always amazed at how clean my cars are. i get lots of compliments(and requests...)
the lesbian on the left is great--keeps her yard tidy, keeps to herself and she sends nuts and fruit every christmas(i think thats great, it makes me giggle-- fruit for a fruit-- nuts for the nuts=)
i do kind of worry about the older couples departing, who knows who will move in after that.
did i mention that the guy that lived here had a pig for a pet and once burned the sofa/carpets in the yard when his wife divorced him?
