Phil,
Know what you mean. This was my Nissan (red), wife's Storm up in Maryland one winter before I retired to Florida. One of the many reasons why I live here now.
When you get to buying that snowblower, look around and maybe you can pick something up like this...
Don,
Cars have always been a passion of mine (like a lot of kids) since before I can remember. When time passed and I could get behind the wheel of my parents cars I can remember adding (modding now) things like fender skirts, chrome tail pipes, fuzzy dice and other goodies to their cars and my parents would just shake their heads but let me do almost everything I wanted.
When it was my time to buy, I always wanted something that would stand out in a crowd, be a little different, either by the car itself or modding it the way I wanted.
I worked in 2 service stations between getting out of the Navy and going to work for the Government. Always used to do things on the side for people even though I wasn't paid and always stopped for a stranded motorist, back when cars could be fixed on the side of the road. It's in my nature to help and when this forum and other PT/Corvette forums came along, I was glad to help wherever I could. Not because of any award but just because I felt good doing it.
Thanks for your kind words. Your posts have considerably added enjoyment and wisdom to this forum. Glad to have you as a member.
