After 27 years being married I can tell you for certain that is not a good formula. It will work but it's up to you how long you can deal with the deep freeze.
Ouch.. Reminds me of when I told my first wife I wanted to buy a really clean 70 LeMans. She told me to make sure I had some money left over for the divorce lawyer. Funny, I didn't buy the car but still had to pay for a divorce lawyer... She hated old cars....
Before you're banished to the couch, I know a guy up the road from you here in Peterboro' who's selling his wife's new style bug ragtop.. I'm bad w/ colors but believe it's the rarely seen beige w/ tan roof combo...no idea on the $ or Km's.. His # is 705-748-9900 ...ask for Two as in the number 2..

I like real cars best...especially the REAL real ones! ----------------------------------------------------------------
thanxs Pete (ghost post), but she wants the older style, pre 78, i do like the older ones with the tube style bumpers (69Laurentian), but we would definitely be keeping our eyes out for a project. strange how they are priced $3500 - 10,00 nothing between. found one in kingston on kijji. made the deal for 2000 and he back paddled on the phone call wanting more. so not a big issue if i do find one, i will jump on it but i wont lose any sleep if i don't.
If i had the cash i think i might actually be able to get my wife interested in an older car. Of course it was an Austin Healey 3000 that we saw at a show...it did have a Vette engine in it though!
