Re: I bounced a check.
Hahaha, which I support wholeheartedly. It's one of my favorite parts of the general discussion. But I'll admit that when the screen name thread moved toward becoming a varmint killin thread, complete with pictures, I did try to nudge it back toward the stated topic
Just to be clear, I do respect the need to protect one's property, family, livestock, and livelihood from predators. Last edited by LT7A; 08-07-2021 at 02:07 PM. |

Re: I bounced a check.
We had an exchange student that admitted she went through the first week of drivers' ed without understanding what a vehicle was scary.

Re: I bounced a check.
I know what you mean about original cars/trucks and saving them. I have been around (and into cars) long enough to see a "new model" go from being fresh to the market to becoming eligible for "historical vehicle" license plates.
When I was a kid, my grandfather drove a white '72 C/10 and I remember when the "new" model came along. Those are the ones we came to know as squarebody. The next big change was '88, for the pick-ups at least. Those are even considered historical now? Yes, you can buy a brand new GM approved body for a '69 Camaro, and for a guy like Foose (and others) this is probably the best way to go. They are going to modify so much that a good core is all they need anyway. They don't care if the engine is shot, what size it is, or if it is even still there. They don't care if it had drum brakes, A/C, power steering, etc. So one of those Dynacorn bodies is great to start fresh without even chasing electrical gremlins of a 50 year old car. The place where it does matter is when I guy is looking for a legit SS big block car, or some other unique thing that one of the replicas can never be. Those should be preserved because so many have been wrecked or otherwise destroyed over the years. The only down-side I can see to a replacement body car is that it can never be titled (at least in Ohio) as what it looks like. Meaning, it becomes a "self assembled" vehicle if whatever year you complete it. You can call it whatever you want, and people will believe you because that's what it looks like, but legally (on the title) it will not say that. That may or may not have an effect on it's value. It is not "real", but it is also not 52 years worth of corroded/worn/crusty or had tons of money dropped into it, bringing it back from that point. I could see the up-side of either My motorcycle is a case in point. It is a Harley clone that I built and titled myself from parts that I collected (or made) over a 3 year period. There is nothing real HD about it, except for the fork from an FXR. It is titled as a '99 ASVE (ASsembled VEhicle) with it's own 17 digit serial number. The frame number and engine case number are noted as the proper parts for this bike as part of that serial number.

I have a buddy whose ex wife took him to court when their daughter graduated from high school and the child support payments ended. The daughter wanted to go to college and the wife saw an opportunity to keep those payments coming. In court my buddy offered to pay 100% of the daughter's college costs directly. The wife wouldn't agree to it because he didn't have to disclose how much he was making. She wanted to know and wanted access to it. The judge wouldn't allow it and mandated that they share the expenses 60/40. Sometimes the right thing does happen. If it doesn't, I agree, get back up and get after it. |

Re: I bounced a check.
My wife and I have never argued about money. Even when we had none. She is quite frugal so I don't have to worry about her spending too much. She has worked for me for the last 30 years. Every week our checks go in the same account. I pay all the bills. It works for us.

Re: I bounced a check.
I guess I was a guilty of some of that. She was pretty good about my truck and Harley habit, but she did like to give me random grief. Less known, less grief so I'd get stealthy when it came to details. The '72 K/20 Highlander I bought was no issue, but I felt it was best she didn't know the other money I had to spend to get it right. You can't tell looking at a truck that it just got all new brakes, bearings, seals, steering, clutch, and exhaust. On the new 6" suspension, wheels and 35" tires, I let that stuff sitting for a while in the barn she never went into. The time came and I told her a got a great deal on some used wheels and tires. Pretty convincing since the wheels were wagon wheels (in '04). Tires is tires. The 6" lift I never mentioned. The tires are what she'd notice. She wouldn't know what's involved in getting the tires to fit. She loved that truck!!
