Features Close call #2 for the shoebox custom.

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by sparkydeluxe, Oct 4, 2013.

  1. So I normally don't park the car outside, but earlier this week I was working on another project in the there and needed the space. First night in the driveway and for whatever reason the car fell out of gear. Normally this scenario would be a disaster for the car, and for my neighbors garage located downhill from it, but by the grace of God I just so happened to park my jeep behind the car in a way that only the bumper ran into my tire, causing ZERO damage to either vehicle. Car lives used...4 of 9

    Fast forward to last night. I live in a snow globe in Colorado and this storm hit us hard and quick. Yesterday I was in t-shirt and shorts on a motorcycle, today I woke up to this. Again by the grace of God my porch played defender for a tree making a bee-line for the car. Car lives used...8 of 9

    Moral of the story. She's in the garage now and will stay there till spring. Not willing to wait for strike 3.

    Damn, that is a sweet looking car! very clean lines and the whitewalls set it off perfectly! One good thing about my driveway, is that it's so flat you could leave a vehicle in neutral for six months, and it would only move if there was a hurricane.
