My Car is Still in Quincy
Still haven’t managed to go and actually get my car. Aside from the long distance and the need to rent a truck and trailer, the kids and I had bad colds earlier this week. So, I own a car that I can’t drive
New Car (80 years old)
Just bought a 1931 Model A Ford Coupe. It’s still in Quincy, CA–I’ll need to go pick it up sometime in the next week or so.
Here are some pictures:

So, that didn’t work out…
Looked at the green coupe this weekend and talked to my “model A mentor” and decided not to buy it. While the mechanicals are in reasonable shape, the body had some serious issues with rust, there was a lot of bondo on the fenders, and it would have taken a lot of work to fix up. It was probably worth $8k according to my friend–but the seller was asking $10 and it needed $7-8k of work. So I passed.
Still lookin’ :-)
My Post-Motorcycle Transportation?
Here’s a car I’m going to look at Saturday…
Gone!
Well, today was a happy/sad day. My 2007 Suzuki M109 has been sold and is off to a new owner. I will miss riding, but am looking forward to moving on to a new vehicle adventure. Model A, here I come!
