when I was 18 in 1974 I bought my first car - a 1965 Mustang 260 4 speed vert for $500.
I sold the rust bucket about 2 years later for $600!!! |

Back in 1999 my dad passed up in NH. On the way back at the airport, the usual confusion and too many hanging around on standby and crap.
Then they were asking for people to skip this flight and take the next one. So, no longer in any hurry, they gave me a food voucher, I went to the restaurant, came back a few hours later to a 1st Class seat. I figured that was my dads way of saying thanks. Also I always figured 1st Class was for Jews! That's the only way my wife flew back to West Palm every year having daddy pay for it. Too much family drama and she was not going to pay for that. |

Bought a C7 Grandsport from Criswell in Dec 2019 for $55K. Drove the hell out of it on the track and around town for a year and a half and sold it in 2022 for $69.5K during the scamdemic.

A few lucky big hits at the casino, some good thrift store finds, some lucky ebay wins, I'd say the best find was an old Seiko turtle automatic in the thrift shop watch bin.

Back in the '80's I found this 34 3 window Ford coupe (one of the most prized hot rods) in a storage facility. Got it for 1200 bucks. Funny part is, the guy who helped me get it out was the owner of the storage. He was so pissed! He said he had been trying to buy it for years!

This afternoon I scored a jar of dreamland bbq sauce. It was free with the Pig app.

Many years ago I had a friend who was a big Smith&Wesson guy. He bought a 6” Python because he thought he wanted it. He ran part of a box of shells through it and decided it wasn’t for him. He sold it to me for $300. Still have it and the original box it came in.

Probably 68 Firebird I got from a kid for 200 bucks. 400 engine think a 2 barrel.
That thing was a beast albeit a total rust bucket. Absolutely nothing worked right on it. Best and worst car I've ever owned. Rear frame broke during an excessive noise exhibition so got rid of it for 500. |

Went to the airport with a buddy last week and we found a perfectly good aircraft wheel and tire in the parking lot. Had English writing on it, so probably not an Airbus wheel. Went back with his lawn business trailer and picked it up. All that aluminum should add up at the recycling place ...
