CALI DAYS REMEMBERED
I'm not sure why I do this to myself however I just wanted to show the old girl before she got totalled. I honestly forgot how beautiful she was the the absurd amount of hours pumped into every nuck and cranny, tens of thosands of hours. Now I come home every night and see the mangled wreck and honestly forgot how pristine she used to be. so here are some great shots.
And now....................
Until Farmers closes out with me I can't sell the wreck and until she's gone I can't stop the mourning. I know it sounds stupid but honestly she was my only child.

It's a real bummer, that's for sure. I hope you will be able to move on, soon. In time the pain will fade. You truly built a beautiful car and you can be proud of that.

David,
You are a glutten for punishment. If it were me still sitting on a *junk* vette that I can't get rid of because of Insurance azzholes, I'd at least put a car cover on it to get my mind off of it. It works... I can walk by my unfinished project day in and day out and not even an inkling to tinker with it. When I'm ready I'll go at it again.

That was really a very nice car....
It´s a shame that so much work can be destroid in just a few seconds.
I´m so sorry that that happened to you, and I hope that something like this will never happen to me. I might have killed the drunken girls if I was able to crawl out of the wreck. :mad

Cali,
Is there any truth to the rumour that you are now dating the gal that smashed into you? In between her AA meetings that is.
