The trips to knowhere is where the best deals come from.  I went to the store for a gallon of milk around two oclock and ended up with a p.o.s. 1969 bug but it has a transaxle and running gear with a beat up body with no windows but it was FREE it don't get no better than that.

Allison is real close. The part that I don't like is chipping the ice off to get to it.  The mind says "getter done" but the body says "Do whut? " :lol:

Ice, I thought you were telling me that I needed to moved south where the weather was warm and the Kudzu was plentiful! :lol:
I guess the one good thing about us up here is there's no denying that it gets colder up here than a witch's %#@. So that's why we have heated garages. Don't you have one too!
