Well I was getting ready to buy a new system (cause i've been pounding mine for about 4 yrs ish and it just sounds like crap.) Now i'm not upgrading this year. really good reason though. i took the money i was going to spend on a stereo system for my car, and spent it on a 1964 ford thunderbird 2 door hardtop !!! 2600 canadian... has less than 50000 original miles on the original engine. no cancer. 390 with 300 hp. chrome everything! interior needs a bit of work, cause the door seals where off the car this past winter. so there is about $1000 worth of interior work. but i'm so happy.. the engine is quieter than the engine in my 2002 kia rio. no valve tick or anything... doesn't burn any oil... i think i got a steal

that was my thoughts... plus right now i drive a kia... and i love cars. so you put the two together and you know i was looking for something else. when i went to visit my dad and his friend, i was walking up the backyard and saw the car sitting there... i asked my dads friend "what are you doing with a car like that" (he's not into cars at all) he said I'm helping my buddy sell it. i said how much. "last year he turned down 6,000, this year he's hard up for cash. has a buyer lined up for 2600." i said how bout i get it for that price... he said.... "ok!" i was so shocked i just about fell to the ground.. cut him a cheque. and then had to go to work pick it up on saturday. got the signed papers sitting at home. cant wait to cruise... in the famous words of ren and stimpy... "happy happy joy joy"

nope nothing like that... i was just at the right place at the right time. if i didn't see the car then, it would of been sold the next day and i wouldn't of even known about it. i kind of feel like an *** for crushing someone elses dreams of owning a nice old car... but then i think... why should he get such a good deal.. lol
