Default long time

Hello everyone, I know I have been absent for quite some time. Justed wanted to drop a line to say hi. Am 1 year away from graduation and have been concentrating hard on my studies. Got the vet out of storage last month and my transmission is junk, just have 1 and reverse! Can't come up with the money to fix it this year since I want a house to live in, so it will have to wait for next year. Crossing fingers we get a house with a barn or garage and I can work on her over the summer and fall redoing the interior, then come spring, get it in for the tranny and a paint job.

Enjoy the summer with your vettes for me and squeal your tires a few extra times for me!

What he said, and if you come you might be able to experience the tire squealing from the passenger seat

Sorry I did not get back to my thread. Tax season took off, had a stint in the hospital and getting back into the school work after spring break and kids! Life is crazy, but it is good!
would love to make it out to one of the lunches, but we are down to our truck and James works weekends and with amount of driving we do, our fuel bill has gone down much! Price goes down and we end up having to drive more since his company no longer lets the employees take the company vehicles home anymore. Gave us 3 days notice and then my car ends up sidelined again this year. Found a shop to fix it, but just don't have the cash, especially when you are trying to buy a house.
