I knew I shouldn't have done it!

Well,  my tbird has sat on the back burner for a while.  Been working on the Stang,  fixing up a bike.  Now I've desided I'm going to get me a new bike so I got something nice to ride (and save gas).  And next year I'm gonna try to get me a cheap boat. And with that I'll need a truck to pull it.  Problem is,  I still live at home.  I'm gonna move out in a year or two.  So I'm having my fun and buying my toys now while I'm able to save up the money and do so. 

Now here's the problem,  my old man isn't too keen on the Idea of getting all this new stuff.  So the deal I made was,  if I got a new bike,  and a truck and boat,  I'd have to get rid of the Tbird and my other mustang.  So I said ok.  I went out,  and cleaned up the bird and the stang to sell.  Then I desided to take the bird for one last ride.  Bad Idea!  Cause now I really don't want to sell it!  :mad:

Guess I'll get rid of the other mustang and hope he don't notice a truck and boat parked.  :D

Why not save the money on the boat adn truck and other shiznit and get the house? Then you can do what you want as you get the cash for it

Instead of buying a truck and boat you could trick out the Bird and have a helluva car that would run.

I meant run, and kick the shiznit out of your stang. I like your Stang. You could be real nice and give me the bird. Then you could get a truck and a boat, and everyone wins! +1 for me!

I own 5 vehicles, 1 driven by my son for now. I got a house, but no garage, and no real driveway.....yet anyway. It's gonna be another year for a driveway, and no more than two years after that......... a MONSTER GARAGE.

Go to the sawmill and get some 2x6's and come off the side of your house and do up a car port.  Theres a sawmill south of you right there on 77 (left side south bound).  Probably other sawmills as well.

Just tie in all the 2x's at 24'' centers with 1'' lumber spaced out and lay Tin roofing or Translucent Roofing atop.  I cant imagine that costing more than 250 diy.  Atleast then you'll have shelter.

That will never happen. This Cougar will never leave my possession. I love this car too much and has way too much meaning to me. My Uncle died for this car. Ive done worse than kick people in the balls for leaning on it.

I think you should fix the Bird, Im loving the 5.0 5speed. Needs some paint. You cant beat a good time doing burnouts, I'll admit I push the Cougar most of the time. Ive done kiddies quite a few times lately. The 5.0 needs some love lol.

Why not just pull the boat with the mustang or the tbird(that is if the bird is a 5o) and save the money on a truck.
