Where is everyone #2!!

Wish that used Levi's shop down at the flea market was still around. I could get $50 jeans in nice shape for $10 a pop, as many as they had in my size.

 

I buy the Faded Glory brand. I like them better

 

I guess I got the shopping bug too. Purchased this fine one owner unit off of ebay earlier, going to pick it up tomorrow. 98 Caravan http://www.ebay.com/itm/12121028632...26&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160

 

Cool! I drive a man can to for my beater vehicle. 99 Montana van.

 

yah, they're great for tools, fishing gear, whatever.... This is my 4th minivan, I go through a lot of cars. 71 F100, 79 F250, 89 Ranger, 84 F150 4WD, 90 F250 4WD, 87 Escort, 87 Mercury Lynx, 78 Delta 88, 94 Grand Am, 2001 F150, about a dozen VW's mostly Jetta's. A Chevy Beretta, that's about all I remember off the top of my head. I used to keep 3 or 4 of them around all the time, but I've just had my 2001 F150 for awhile so figured a second was in order. Now that I have the van I figure I can get rid of the F150 and buy something a little less fuel efficient to replace it.

Maybe someday I'll get into cooler cars, beaters are pretty fun though, lol. Of all the cars I've owned I've only spent over $1,000 on a few of them, many were less than $500.

 

Suppose I should find a comfortable paper bag since I've got to drive a Peterbilt while my shaker is tore down in my shop.

 

We got robbed 2 months ago before we moved out of the ghetto in broad daylight, they took our TV, so bought a 32" last night for $99 except we don't get it for like 2 weeks cuz they ran out of stock. But at least I get to pick it up in Baytown instead of having to come back to Conroe.

Sadly I'm also in the market for a soccer mom van. I might buy one today but I'll likely hold off for a couple weeks in hopes to find a small SUV with 3 rows.

On Monday I'm suppose to switch into one of two Freightliners that we will be getting on a one year lease and I will be in a step deck full time to do primarily crane fall off.

 

I love cars. Tools too. Back in the 90s, I had three Chevy 4x4s in my moms yard, all lifted and big tyres. I would go to the auction on the weekend and buy beaters for $150-300. My trucks would get babied, but I would drive the beaters to Gadsden,Al to go to work for Osborn Transportation. They'd normally last a year, then die. I'd tag my tag off and leave them.

Got out into sports car racing in 2000, and would buy nicer cars and build them. Now, I want to build my own bike.

 

Is Conroe a bad area? I loaded some steel tubing there once and ended up sleeping on the street there but glad I didn't know it was a bad area lol
