Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: It's HOT !

 

LOL

No proctology report from here.

Almost 7:30am, temps hovering around 70...for now.  Supposed to be up there around 100 again today, oh joy.  Have to take gas sucking NO A/C beast F250 to get Kevin later.  Run errands to health food store first.  Guess I"ll take a change of clothes and get there early so I can hang out in his room and shower while I wait.  Stop by sisters house on our way home to find out what supplies we'll need to do sheet rock, tape/bed, build shelves and paint for her.  Insurance claim, will pay us around $2K after she takes her cut for buying the supplies. We'll meet at Lowes first thing in the morning so she can pay for the stuff, we like them better and get a 10% military discount.  Too bad they won't let us use both her discount and Kevins'!  At least they give it to us year round as opposed to HD that only honors Veterans on Veterans Day!  Makes me want to dump my stock with them.

Gotta go make sure all chickens and turkeys are in coop, which I know they aren't, then go on egg hunt in barn, let dogs out to run before I start my HOT drive to Cedar Hill.

Leg is getting better each day, hole isn't as deep.  This Sunday will be a month.  That's my version of a medical report! :)


Have a COOL day everyone!  I might even go sit in my Diesel Mercedes this morning just to see what it feels like.  One of these days I'll get back to searching for the orings I need. (Keeping on topic)

They didn't wait ~ all RUG went up to over $4.00 the gallon in L.A. yesterday , in spite of the same barrel price of oil that gave us $3.70 gallon RUG last month .

But , enough of THE TRUTH , lets get back to the Proctology Report the whiners were so interested in .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Ponton

 

I am looking for a project car; unfortu-Nate-ly, no sooner do I get a free minute then some other necessity requires my attention. I've been working for over 10 days straight now without a day off and it will be at least another 3 before I have time.

I saw a Nash metropolitan on the road a couple days ago. The Ponton for $5k probably isn't a bad deal considering that the dollar will be worth less over the next few years. People seem to have nostalgia for the past and older cars seem to serve that need for some. So I see it as a way to have some fun and as an investment to some degree.

As a side note, when I was in my 20's (I'm 50 now) I could buy a used XKE for $900, an MGA for about $300 and so forth. Recently a dealer sold a used MG-TD in moderately restored & usable condition (ie not concours by any stretch) for about $20K. I notice that Craigslist has  a lot of older American iron for short money, now. When the economy comes back in full force, these will be of greater value. In a nearby city there is a guy who is offering a gasser Merc 2 door couple for $18K but no takers, so far. He is also offering at least one Shelby knock off for about $28k...no takers for it either.

Classic gasser repower; pardon the redundancy if you've already see it.
