    Pieces of wood, wire, duct tape, shoelaces, floormats, seat springs. Where's Mcgyver?

    Thought about that. Don't have vise grips. Gonna try and drive to Wally world. It's less than a mile. Figure I can buy a drill there, drill out the holes in this piece of steel and I should be ok I think.

    Bracket in. I was supposed to be at girlfriends 2 hours ago. Girlfriend beyond furious.

    Girlfriend hates my old cars. Girlfriend wanted me to put big chrome alloys on my Lincoln. Girlfriend hates whitewalls. Girlfriend wants me to drive a camry.

    Girlfriend is so pissed off about this that she is ready to break up with me.

    This was so fucking worth it :D

    After you find a fix for your Ford, start looking for a new Girlfriend-one that appreciates that you appreciate old cars!

    When I brought home my '47 Plymouth Coupe, my now fat, bitchy X said it was the last straw.
    I'm never sellin' that car!
    In fact, I think I'll waddle up to the garage and kiss it goodnight.

    Take it from an old guy who has been around the block a few times.......This is as good as it will ever get with your GF. If she is like this now, you have no idea what she will turn into when the ring gets put on her finger........you have NO idea ! :eek::eek:

    Glad you got your car fixed. Now about your girlfriend, as my one friend says "Women are like a carpet, if you lay them right the first time you can walk on them forever"
