Wife or car?

[Kern Dog]

I don't have to assume anything. Your comment said it all. Devalue private property and then it becomes much easier for those in power to steal it.

You are really confused.

 

[GetX'd]

If you are referring to QOTHL, you couldn't be more wrong. The posts in the political forum alone would be evidence of how wrong that portrayal is.
I think everyone should take a step back and chill. I know for a fact that all involved have WAY more in common than differences between us.

I’m just taking him for his radical, angry posts. He lashes out all to easily. If what you say is correct he should man up and be more contrite. You can tell a lot about a person by what he says and writes. Maybe you should be talking to him not me...

This thread is unbelievable! First the OP was basically called a liar, which upset him so much he actually started another thread just to say he wasn't...and then hasn't been seen since, and then it turns into a "show me your missus working on your car" (which was rather cool)....but then turned into a "Cars are important/cars aren't important and whoever disagrees with my opinion should be burned at the stake".
Aren't we all mopar and b body brothers and sisters here, and isn't there enough **** going on in the world already? Be nice everybody!

 

[polywideblock]

what was he on, back in 1973 ?

I stand corrected, you're absolutely right, your car IS just a "******* car, just a toy". You've proven it's not important if you don't care that someone sitting on the hood might damage the sheet metal. Good for you!
Conversely, ALL of MY cars ARE important. Maybe you didn't have to work for your car, maybe you don't work on it. I worked my *** off getting these cars and restoring them and caring for them and value my time and money. I'll beat the f**king sh*t out of any idiot who has the lack of respect to touch my, someone elses, private property because they think it's a "toy" or have some other really stupid idea that it's not important. That WILL be their problem, not mine.
But since you don't care about your car, can I come over and take a photo of my 426 Hemi on your hood? At least for a brief moment, your car will be important.

Your priorities are what's distorted, to answer the comments you made, well I I worked harder than most. Started my own business at the age of 24 and and went all out, i now own 4 companies that I built up, i retired at the age of 48 and am now 59,
I am the only one who works on my cars been that way since high school.
Don't assume anything, it makes you look like an idiot.

At cruise nights I tell any kid that looks interested in my cars that they can get in so their folks can take a picture.
PS people are important, things are just things.

Touching, leaning on, what are usually obviously "special" cars, and those who do it, whether children or adults, is prima facie evidence of either someone who had/have parents who let "their" kids do anything, no discipline, because they obviously think WAY too much of themselves, or no parents at all, or a total disregard for other people's property.
I'm sure that lack of respect and discipline affects their lives in a negative manner, or if it hasn't, it's just a matter of time.
There are 2 incidents that I can think of.
One was the most important car show of my life. The World of Wheels in the Louisiana Superdome. My parents' first date was the World of Wheels, back in 1961. I went just about every year, and for a long time I never thought I'd have a car nice enough to be in that show. My interest in cars kept me going, and many of my friends were into cars, and most of us all had "something" cool to roll around in, and some of them had cars in that show. Well my Roadrunner was nice enough to make the cut, and I won a 3rd place plaque, behind 2 other 70 Roadrunners, brothers who are friends of mine, and their cars are extremely "correct", and I have no question that they both should have placed ahead of me.
Still, I won an award and recognition at a show that I never thought I'd be in, that my parents may have thought I may never have a car in.
So some kid who should have been on a leash ran his fingers down the side of my car, and I asked him not to touch the cars, and by the snarky comment his dweeb, obviously leftist father made, well that told me a lot right there, and everything I said about people like that is true. They want to tell everyone else what to do, but they are a pitiful excuse for someone who lives in a civil society.
The other time was a guy actually had the balls or the lack of brain cells to know better, and reached in my car to show someone with him the "beep beep" horn.
I asked him in a tone and manner that made my displeasure obvious "Would you like the keys and you can take it for a drive?!" Then he mentioned those same 2 brothers w/the beautiful 70 Roadrunners, and I gave him a break but made it clear that I didn't appreciate what he did, and I know HE KNEW he was wrong.
@440+6 :
No, they aren't "just ******* cars", at least not to a LOT of US. They are reminders of past times, experiences, ERAS when our lives were still mostly ahead of us. Great times, times that we were fortunate to have, because a lot of stuff like that doesn't happen anymore. They are TIME MACHINES that take us back to when we were younger and having a BLAST being crazy and hanging out with our friends and hundreds of other people were doing the same. Celebrating life, the end of another work week, school week, or both.
They are the embodiment of a desire fulfilled, worked for, waited for, and then when we finally found "the one" we traded our time, our money, our sweat and toil for them, and couldn't be happier with the trade. We take care of them, and enjoy the work involved in that care.
There's way too much to describe why our cars aren't "just ******* cars" but for someone with an attitude like yours, my explanation in this post isn't so much for you, or people like you, because that's probably wasted on you. It's for those like me, like QOTHL, like most on this forum who "get it" and because I am right there with QOTHL, and I'd say that just like this post being for people like me, QOTHL shouldn't bother to exchange posts with you, because it's a waste of time...

Bought my GTX in 79, the year I graduated from high school, yes I love these cars more than you think, but in the grand scheme of things, well let's just say that "people like me" enjoy life.
And you don't need to talk to me, you can obviously read my mind through the computer.

My post #107
Ohhhh The Drama

Was in response to the original poster - He came in at #107 and called somebody out , can’t remember the exact details - Then decided to make a new thread

Then deleted his post the next day on this thread

Peace

 

[YY1]

The correct answer is-

Wife and car.

 

[BDF6]

Well this was extremely entertaining to me and very likely a good thing I had not logged in until just now as I tend to comment w/out much thought as I read on occassion.
I'd have posted several 'likes' and 'thanks' and been tempted with the 'X' more than once...
Good for you all with good wives: they are a blessing from the LORD!
That said, I have a great wife and the car is part of the family!

 

[biomedtechguy]

As far as the original question, I helped find and buy a car my wife was looking for for about 8 years, after we missed one in 2006. In 2014, she found what became her 1965 real GTO, 421 Tripower Royal Bobcat Tribute car. We bought it at Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. Turns out the previous owner was Gunner Nelson, a triple platinum country music star.
Here's the for sale ad:
https://www.volocars.com/vehicles/8701/1965-pontiac
From an interview with Nelson:
My other passions is acquiring, fixing, flipping (and sometimes keeping) classic muscle cars. My current stable is a numbers matching ’67 Pontiac GTO Convertible and a numbers matching ’71 Chevelle SS 454 4-speed car.

About 6 weeks later, I went and got my real V-code 70 Roadrunner from Fast Lane Auto Classics in St. Charles MO.

So we BOTH have classic muscle cars, and show them, cruise, really enjoy the whole week of Cruisin the Coast, and race them, mostly at Gulfport Dragway, including against each other..
So far she hasn't beat me, but the GTO just got faster, so it's getting real close, and I like that!

Those are 2 very sharp cars you have....

Thank you!
The rear suspension in the GTO has already had a number of performance upgrades, to contend with the added power of the performance oriented rebuild of the 421. BOTH cars are about to get a pile of goodies installed, if I can get the go ahead from the shop that I have had do work on both cars before.

 

[rolling_Thunder]

I just got married this past year - She knows the deal as we discussed everything under the sun before getting hitched... So she told me she wants a classic car to go to shows and what not in... Ugh... She's hoping for a 67-68 Convertible Mustang or some other "girly car"

 

[YY1]

I'd drive a 67/68 stang vert

 

[Pops1967GTX]

Just remember one thing guys. If it has Tires or ******* there is a lot of required maintenance

 

[69 R/T]

I love women, I think they're great! I was married twice and divorced twice so I could have sex and Mopars again. But the reality is, girls are born every day, there's no shortage. They stopped making bitchin' cars about 45 years ago..…. so figure it out!

 

[Brendanchambers]

well guys, i definitely got lucky, my wife realised i badly wanted an old classic mopar and she just said, sure if it makes you happy and its not too dangerous or a project car, go for it....so i put my hard earned down on a 69 road runner this week

Welcome to the club from a little bit north of Winnipeg some pictures of your car would be great

 

[70chall440]

I got lucky with my wife, while she hasn't always approved of my car purchases she has come to accept that my car habit is much better than some other alternatives; just bought a 71 Charger project car to go with my 70 Challenger RT, 73 Cuda, 70 Roadrunner, 52 Dodge B3B PU w/56 Desoto hemi, 10 Challenger RT, 01 Viper... lol

 

[XMAN JR]

I know im going to get some hate replies or your an as* hole but all women have a little evil in them. Some more than others. Adam & Eve Eve short for evil. Don't get me wrong there are women that I love very much but like I said they are all alittle evil.
