what to do??
i was just given a opportunity to buy car 39 numbers off on the assembly line from the GTA I own. I had my friend call me tonight and asked if i was interested in buying a pretty decent 67 gta coupe. I went over to the guys house my friend knew from work. Man i was floored!! Exact car as mine, Silver frost paint, Turn signal hood, Console, clock, remote mirror, locking glove box, deluxe seatbelts, wheel well chrome, A/C power steering, brakes, 289 4v, not the same gears (279:1 , cant have it all,) and an automatic. I wanted it soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad i mean 39 numbers off the assembly line after mine. It was a weird feeling knowing these cars were made the same day probably. It has fairly good dent on the driver quater panel where the "c" is, and a little cancer on the 1/4's but all there. Whats even weirder, is the odometer reads only 42.000 although the guy assures me its turned over. I called my fiance, to ask if i can strike a deal (2,500 bucks!!!) and she said, you buy it, you sell the other one!! What the hell is that? does she not relize the potential here? To bring those both to a show side by side makes me happy in the pants. I told her id sell the jeep, but she insisted, i sell the other or i couldnt, because she really doesnt want car parts, all around the house again. I told her the parts from the other restoration gave the inside of the house class, but she didnt buy it..... Damn women, i think if i take here away for the weekend itll butter her up. Guys PLEASE i need suggestions, i cant, no no WONT let this car go.... the car was crying when i left for gods sake

RE: what to do??
yeah seriously....she may put you in the dog house for a month or two...but.......SHE WILL GET OVER IT. This car wont wait around forever. For 2500 bucks, u could almost do the transaction without her noticing! besides the fact u will be bringing home another stang...but thats beside the point....
tell her that once u finish both cars, she can drive whatever one she likes as much a she likes...etc etc etc....take her somewhere good. be her slave for a month or two. just get it done.

yeah you know, the 3 car garge in the backyard is big, but not big enough for her not to notice, and besides, if i move the other car to my dads garage, and leave a cover over the other one she'll be non the wiser..... she might notice the acura missing though...im calling my dad, he'll know what to do......

RE: what to do??
ok so i talked to daddy, if thats what you call him.... and he said no f@$#ing way. He basically is scared of jessica(the evil fiance) and would like to keep all his cars.....intact because supposibly she knows where he lives.....crazy.... Well he told me if i want the car i will either need to do A: sell mine B:find another place to store it, or C: threaten to break off the engagment. I thought C was a little harsh, but got to thinkin, you know she IS pretty fond of that not so little, and NOT so cheap ring of hers........ but im scared guys, i want that damn car and if i dont get it... well i just might shed a little tear for a crazy minute. And if you read my post about the dent i got in the car yesterday, you know how much of a little crappy pants baby i can be.. HELP ME[&o]
