alright, back to the '73 ford gran torino sport... just snapped these pictures all of ten minutes ago...

as you can see, still need to put the bumpers back on... some exhaust work, polish the wheels and replace the left rearview mirror. then it's all set... [yeah it's still sitting out from when the shop dropped it off, not enough room in the garage yet... no harm]. and no rainbow stripes, sweet.

you can also see the red '76 torino sedan in the background [slightly turning decrepit on me] that i'd mentioned earlier.

the other newer car up front is my '96 olds cutlass se, the "everyday car" [looking to replace it with an s.u.v., but that probably won't happen].

so there ends my bragging rights for the day/week/month and your foggy window into my life.

Is that your house? If it is, it looks like you have a nice yard and view!

actually, that's the neighbors' house. when looking at the last photo, our house is behind me. in the second one, you can see out front lawn. and yeah, the view's not too bad. :cool:

That's a nice looking car, even without the bumper.

Nice weather for March too.

Well I can't speak for him, but over here the other day it was 55, then this morning it was 11. I wish it would just stay warm.

We've got more snow and I love it. Except my car can't handle it...

We NEED more rain and snow here! This is the fourth straight winter that's been drier than normal and if it happens again next winter, it's going to hurt our water supply. :(
