Nickname for the county is Shotgun County. Proudly pointed out by the indigenous people. I've had a house there since 1979 and will never be considered "from around here".

I make sure to drive the truck with local plates whenever I go on the back roads.

This epic thread should be renamed "The misadventures of a rednecks front yard". And I mean that with lots of love.

I like it... but I don't think it's as much redneck, as plain stupidity...

Got any for sale now?

vstech · #**576** 11-30-2012, 09:58 PM

not yet.
I do have two 83SD's that needs a crappy paint job redone, and the drive train installed, an 85D that has a dent above the passenger's tail light needs the drive train installed, an 85SD that needs the cam/timing chain replaced, an 87TD that needs an engine, but the original trap ox is in place, so MB may replace everything under warranty... does that count as "for sale"

Wish I had a truck and trailer to get that TD off your hands... A new crate engine sure sounds nice

VSTech - you've done a great job getting you property in order. I'm truly impressed. I hope the county has likewise appreciated the amount of effort you've out into doing it. I regret not being able to come down and help you pick up you Lego's.

Got any pics of the 85D that needs drive train? My 83 300D with an exc drive train but a crappy body is looking for a mint body to transplant into.

Steve, You've seen all the pics of the 85D... we tried to work out a deal on it.

I'd replace "redneck" with "addict". I'm very much not an American but I get the feeling that redneck is more often than not a derogatory term.

Have you got a final tally of what went (RIP) and what came in over the time period of this thread?

How many vehicles do you still own?

Yes, inquiring minds want to know!

Oh that one? I never heard back from you on it and then read (in this thread) you sold it to someones else.

I appreciate everyone's help who did come, and look forward to any help/assistance I can get in the future.
the city was indeed grateful and appreciative of my work...

yeah, I had it committed to another local member, but I never got it ready for him, so it's STILL here. my future sister in law would LOVE for it to disappear from her lawn.

I had to bring 3 cars back to my yard, and two are STILL in it that need to go. also several of the cars I moved need good homes...
