Seems a free education wasn't something that interested them.

I'd break a hip getting inline for free college for the kid myself...
I remember my last semester of college costing $360 plus books... that was 1979. My dad said he made too much for federal assistance and not enough to pay for it. I was lucky that I got out without student debt.

My son will start drives ed this year and will get his license next year so the plan is to give him the hand me down, hand me down Lexus and we'll buy our daughter a newer car for college. College is a whole new discussion.... We have a rental condo and my '70 Corvette that we're thinking of selling for college funds.

Then I'm still stuck with the land yacht.... ugh. When I retire in a few years I'll sell it and buy something to piddle with... maybe a '67 Beetle...
Deets on the '70 Vette?

That's about what I remember paying, 500 or so a semester. One book was 150 bucks and parents about stroked out... It was used for several semesters and of course was worth exactly dik when done as theu switched books. I have it in a box somewhere most likely.

well she has been accepted at 5 or 6 places now. Some giving more money than others. Good thing too. I told her long ago. You were not born to rich parents so you better bust your azz to get scholarships etc... Thank god she took me seriously on an issue So proud of her and her work ethic with school and her jobs.

I'd take $6k. I'll even throw in a fresh dual carb 1600 and a new interior in boxes.

Frame on restoration done in 2000, rally red (original color was monza red), matching L46 (350-350hp) engine bored 40 over with roller rockers, roller lifters., 4-speed, power steering installed, no power brakes but have the kit. New calipers, front springs and rear leaf spring, new interior, new windshield and door glass. New carpet and interior. Car was from Connecticut and I tracked down the second owner. Car was hit and early in it's life and a new rear half of a frame was welded on. Looking for mid $30's but I know the market is soft now.
