NICE WORK - THIS is the type of innovation that will keep classic cars going! 90's cars are becoming classics now...Gosh, I feel old! I remember when I was a kid and my best friend's parents bought a brand new Grand Prix in the 90's - with all the ground effects and everything - I thought it was so futuristic - they took 8-year-old nemesis for a ride and I did not like it then though - was used to my dad's BIG 70's town cars...oh man, he bought a 69 Buick 225 with a 430 I think, in the early 90's I remember pulling my slide over to it, climbing the stairs on it and watching him work - had to have a ladder. Dad bought those old cars to make sure we had a house, good food, and things we needed and even wanted - He told me the other day about this side of it...I thought he had always liked old cars and was frugal - I knew money factored in, just not how much it did really. Then I remember when he test drove a 88 lincoln in 92 - I was 8 years old and I thought I was in a LIMO, the dash and all...but he just could not make the deal fly - my brother had been very ill and this was before health care coverage was a good as it is now - shocking right? - and they lost everything...he wanted to be upwardly-mobile so bad, had a college education, but the 80's just did not work out for a young man...and with my brother so mentally ill - it just all kind of fell apart.
Today I met with some administrators with my dad for care for my brother when dad and I are at work...mom's loss is so much more than tragic...it has broken our world and will keep my dad's broken forever.
Wow - I laid it out there - going to post it - felt good to get it out.
