Default Gone but not forgotten...

Hopefully he wont mind, but I got this email from the new owner of my old '85 and wanted to share. Seeing this makes it easier for me to cope with the empty spot in my garage.
Joe

Hello Joe, Well I got the car at about 6pm last night and drove it home, picked up the wife and did not get back home until around 10pm. WOW! What a machine! Awesome! Got up at 6am this morning and wiped her down and cleaned the road dust off her. Man what a car. My oldest son (he's 17)is out setting up the stero for me. He's already trying to talk me out of the stero and trying to talk me into letting him drive it to school one day before it gets too cold. I think I'll pass on that one. The car is more than I had hoped for when I started looking. My wife is impressed. She thought I was out of my mind for buying a car I had not even driven. She changed her mind while it was still setting on the trailer. I'll send you some pictures when I get them downloaded.WOW!

I sent you an e-mail. Hope you find another car for the empty spot. Mine has been in the shop going on three weeks and I am dying this weekend without her. :seeya
