Default Finally found it!

It was in my 2nd ex's garage! Haven't seen it for ten years and I've dreaming about it. Hard to find and now discontinued, but I'm going to be loving it. Today will be the first time using it.

Nice. Looks like it would be something that's easy to fab up if they're no longer made.

I have been turning wrenches for almost 50 years and never saw that before. Great find. SO if she bad enough to be an EX, she would have burned it, cut it in half, or just given it away to your best friend. But she saved it. Maybe there's still a bit of a spark there…just saying.

Great. I was worried for a minuet & thought you were talking about the elusive part of the female anatomy & the reason you are divorced was because you couldn't find it or because it was in what you called it a garage.LOL

Ok, ambivelent thoughts about it. Immediately, the head rest had to go! I can see why it's discontinued. It might work in some other car, but it didn't work that well for me. I was better off without it. It was worth a try. I'll report on how it works on the Mustang.

it goes right alongside the naked massages!


OK, here goes, after leaving Ex-wife #3 (with the radical temper tantrums), I had nowhere to go and was still buddies with #2 (and #1 is the mother of my three kids) and Ex #2, lives in a home, deep in the boonies, no neighbors, no strings, just be a roommate for a nominal amount each month.

Got the shop and no women (but working on a few...), no house, no lawn to mow, hedges to trim, minivan to wash, nada. All I have to do, is sleep, go to work, then go to the Shop every night. Play with Elky's, 'Stangs, C2's, Tri-Five Chevy's, Lowrider Impala's and whatever comes our way. Blare the tunes, crack open another one and on through the night we go.
