when it rains it pours...
So I just happen to be driving down the same road I go on every week to school, and what do I see? a 55 caddy poking its grill out from a garage. So I decide to stop and see what this guys story is. It's all original, laquer paint intact, just a beautiful car. I can't help but admire one of my dream cars in pristine condition. after talking for a few about 20 minutes he mentions a "parts car" that he has behind his other garage.
"So a guy drove it into my yard one day because he had seen my other car sitting here. He had just been hit by a dump truck and was very irrate." "what'll ya give me for this piece of shit?" the guy asked him. "I dunno" said Steve, "I've got a 16 speed bike in my garage" "I'll trade you straight up"
Thats how steve got his other 55 caddy. and now it's coming home with me for about the same price he paid. fender and hood damage, but thats about it. mice got the interior, but I figure for the steal I'm getting, I can afford to put a few bucks into it.If at first you don't succeed... skydiving probably isn't for you.
