You should start with a nice 39 Packard!
In Response To: BAD NEWS & GOOD NEWS...NCR ()

Or I can post a couple of pictures I took when I went to pick it up. Especially the ones of me with me utterly terrified look on my face trying to figure out how to drive a stick shift that was on the steering column (oh sure, laugh all you want! I know, I'm a "youngin". I drive a hybrid. Those cars practically drive themselves!) Oh, so get this. I called my Mom. Mom, how do you drive a stick on the steering column? I had to sit through about 20 minutes of gut-rolling laughter. A-ha!! I have my day of reckoning, she says. All those years of you taunting me because I don't know how to program my VCR she says. Revenge is mine she says. You Dad is sarcastically saying "You don't know how to fix your digital watch? HAR HAR HAR" she says.

Before my day was done, I suddenly had a new found respect for ANYBODY who learned to drive well before I did. I understand now why my Grandma refused to get a driver's license! Those cars are beasts! But I have to say, I looked so cool in that car!! Apparently, a lot of other people must have agreed with me, because I got lots of honks and waves! My GF said it was because of the car, but I just gently took her hand, and in a calm voice said "Please don't ruin my moment here. If in my world, just for a few moments, all those hot looking women were doing a double take in my specific direction, let me live in fantasy land just a little longer! Something will happen soon enough to snap me back out of fantasy land and take me back to reality land!"

It was one of the best days I've had in a long time Ralph. Can't wait to go for a spin in it when it's finished!!
