Default Decision making time on the '90........

Do I move forward as a fancy single rear wheel slingshot type yard car, or repair normally........



On a side note, glass half full I repaired the seat bolster, that has been torn for 20 years and it turned out nice......see already better than before.

Cut it off (again) just in front of the windshield. Remove engine, add casters and turn it into a custom barbeque grill.

I know it’s just a car but damn it’s hard to see it all cut up in pieces.

I lived in Stillwater in the late 80’s when Mercury Marine was tooling up to tackle engine production. The guys on that team had two prototypes that they drove around. I worked at the convenience store that they fueled up and it was usually at night, they typically didnt drive during the day. But as an 18-19 year old who loves cars I couldn’t believe the sounds that car made and that nice ass .. I swore I would have one .. been close and driven a few but for whatever couldn’t pull the trigger. Maybe it’s time ..
