I won't bore you all with the details, but I've had a rough couple of weeks. As such, I decided Friday would be a good time to take a little break from reality and blow some dust off my '38 coupe. The plan was to work half a day and then head out ... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
Bad luck is running rampant these days. I've had my share lately too, Ryan. It's hard to imagine that as bad as things are that they could always be worse. Glad the coupe was spared any major damage. Give us the skinny on the driver of that Mazda...were they texting while driving or something?
I don't think Ryan has written about the other half of his bad luck. It's been unfair all the way around. How can one of the nicest people I know have such bad luck? Karma is a bunch of bullshit.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Sounds like you and your family are ok and that is whats important. I am sure you will have the 38 all fixed up and be back in the saddle real soon. chuck
Man what a streak you are on. I figure at this rate, you are getting all the bad mojo out at one time. You're due not to have anything else bad happen for about 20 years now. Glad you are okay and the coupe looks like an easy fix. Hang in there buddy. Doc.
Man, sorry to hear this, Ryan. First the situation with the wagon on the way to the "Cinematic" and now the coupe. You must be feelin' like there's a cloud hanging over you. Glad you weren't hurt and no further damage to the '38. ......Don.
sorry to hear bout your misfortune,thank goodness no one was hurt and only the bumper and alternator bracket got tweeked
The old women in my family say that bad things always come in 3's. I think that you're all done with this crap now & can "return to your normal programming". Better Luck Tomorrow.
You might not want to hear from me (considering what my screen name is) Just remember,it could always be worse. You have had a bad string of luck lately but no one has been killed or seriously hurt so you are doing good.Wishing you nothing but GOOD LUCK from this point forward.Keep your chin up brotha....
Sorry to hear about more bad luck, It is obvious that most people drive like Idiots what with texting while driving and such. lucky you saw him in your mirror, could have been worse. looks like an easy fix. Should be your turn soon to have a whole bunch of good luck
I've been having the same kind of luck lately Ryan. Stiff upper lip and all that...Think I'll post an auction. Spike
I installed a 12" long LED third brake light high in the rear windows of my '37 Plymouth last week. Wasn't sure I liked the way it looked, almost took it off. A part of me says it really looks out of place, and it's definitely not 'period correct', but sometimes those little, low, '39 Ford brake lights can use some help.
Thankfully it didn't get into the rear pan and end up jamming your trunk too. My summer last year was like this. I couldn't take a car out without some issue. Glad everyone was alright. I think I probably would have cried too...after I kicked that cell phone talking dork in the ass.
I feel your pain man. I had a rough weekend myself. I'll email you some pics and maybe post a thread. At least it's fixable and noone was hurt. Dang..... I bet your getting tired of hearing that lately.
I am glad You are ok. Everything else can be fixed, although I understand the aggravation factor. Sometimes you have to just look up and ask "why me". If you think it is bad now, wait until your kids become teenagers.
I could give you the whole "It's always darkest before the dawn spiel,"..Hmmm, I guess I just did. Buck up boss, bumpers can be replaced. We'll see you in August
I think a you need a live chicken, some incense, and a cross of chicken bones. Nahhhhhhhhhh, into everyones life, a little rain must fall. You didn't get hurt in either wreck so actually you should consider your self lucky rather than unlucky. Hang tough.
Good thing you pulled out of the way, somewhat. That could a really sucked. People really just don't pay attention while they are driving these days....did the mope have insurance and whose? Glad everyone is ok.....Don
Hate to hear about that Ryan. A good cry helps though, I know with all the trouble I have had lately with my 38 Pickup. Glad everyone is fine JM
That's really why he continued the trip to the lake... Look at it this way Ryan; the pendulum swings back and forth. I gotta thing it's gonna start pulling the other way real soon. So in that case, you better hang on tight and have you camera battery charged and a laptop with you, because we want to see it all. Vance
