Just proof that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach it to do the back stroke!

Oh that convention thing. Maybe after I win the lottery or get a real job?

Well here's my sad story. (please smile at this, I do) I threw a rod on the 1988 Tracer coming back from the Windy City Chip Show. Of coure I sold chips and traded and spent every penny I had.

Since March I have been driving a 1980 Buick that I picked up for "free" (not including $180 in tax and license fees, and a couple of trunk shocks) The first weekend I took the Buick to the races, the alternator croaked and I have been driving and charging since. (kind of an Electric Car?) It won't pass WI emmissions, so I wasn't going to spend $700 on a classic wing flapping, X CAR, gas guzzling 4 with an automatic.

Yesterday I finally found what I was looking for, station wagon, stick shift, under $3000 (formerly under $2000 but it took so long to find a car that Visa raised my credit limit, ah ha...)

1991 Honda Accord EX wagon, air (not working), cruise, electric windows/door locks, sun roof, rust, 113,000 miles. Now just picture this as my version of a luxury car. I've never had a car with all these electric toys before, but a station wagon with a sun roof (electric) has always been a joke with me. They actually make them!

ps the dealer was about an hours drive from me, but they gave me $200 for the Buick.

So bid on my auctions! lol

Actually, I would expect that anyone who has any interest in traders or "cheap chips" would bid $6 for a $5 chip, postage included. After eBay fees and postage, I'm sure to make a negative gain on these sales. 60c postage, 30c listing fee, shipping envelope 13c, and little extras. If someone uses PayPal I can lose even more!

Getting some new tires is in the plans... with that vast wealth from chip sales.
