You speak the Truth, absolutely. Part of my trouble is that I'm not a really serious 'car guy'. I have tools. I have a nice shop. But I can't use a car trailer to go GET these things. Ok... boo-hoo... big sob story, here.... See, long ago, momma got tired of me dragging home all these relics and hulks. Admittedly, I tended to buy somewhat indiscriminately (for the parts! ;-). She put her foot down in a way I've never seen before or since. This one issue became The Issue. Simply put, whatever I want, I have to DRIVE HOME. If it can't make it through the gates on its own power, it can't stay here (that's a pretty close quote ;-). Now this sounds kinda easy. But just like your offering, getting 1,000 miles to Houston was not a really big deal in and of itself (it was last year, but not right now), but how do I get HOME?? I can drive my truck to you, and I can drive your Eagle to here, but how do I get my truck back? Travel Friends are few and far between for a journey of that length. No licensed kids. Momma has a clever plan, here. Women can do that. They're much more clever than they let on to be. So if it's not pretty close -- and I've gobbled up everything in 100 miles -- I can't get it. I passed on a *slightly* overpriced Pacer that I now wish I'da gotten (as usual) to match the one I have. All my Eagles, save one, are pretty rough and need plenty o' TLC. But that's what was out there when the passion hit me. Today, if I wanna travel, I can get VERY nice Eagles... looks like.... which makes my little nest all the more saddening. I don't have an intact bumper cap AT ALL. I do have a 5 speed though ;-) L. > -----Original Message----- > From: BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eddie Stakes > Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 10:43 AM > To: BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx; iowaeagle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: parting out amc eagle NJ > crusher alert & more Eagles for sale & parts > > It's not so much the one(s) that we see like this going to > crusher, it is the thousands > before them no one cared about and went silently.
