My first car was a '67 Camaro in MINT shape.. jus needed the driver's seat to be re-done.. had sat in a garage for years, low miles.. Owned by a teacher - female.. Friend of my mom's..
$900
I could kill myself for selling that car years later - although I sold it my then girlfriend with the caveat that if she ever sold it, it was to ME.. I'll never forget the day she drove up in aPOS blue Econolpne van, totally torn up, smoking.. just a complete piece of crap.. she come running out all giddy telling me she traded my Camaro for that van.. I asked her how much extra money she got from the trade and her reply, etched in my mind forever, was, "I paid $1200 extra plus the Camaro!"..
OMG...
3 months later the van broke down, for good, and went to the junk yard.. to this day, 36 years later, I still keep an eye out for that Camaro.. I'v never seen it again...
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
