Hello all,
Great forums and great site. I'd like to tell you all a little bit about myself (cause i know you've all been waitin to hear from a guy like me, yeah right!).
Way back in 1985 I turned 16. Three weeks after that day I spent my first 3 pay checks on my first vehicle. Yep, a 73 bronco! Spent $350 on her. Green and white, full of holes. White wagon wheels striped with red and blue. She had so much rot, every time I hit a pot hole the winshield frame would seperate and i could see daylight threw the bottom. Exhaust fumes filled the interior on every trip. I named her Kelly cause she was Kelly green. I knew nothing then (and to be honest nothing still) about repairing or restoring an old rust bucket. But something bit me. In January '86 I found Kellys older but prettier, big sister. She came home with me from St. College PA one day and I named her Candy. Yeah, she was red. Skinny little tires but man could she go through the snow. Oh how I loved my girls!
One of my fondest memories of being a young man is taking an ice fishing trip to Poe Valley St Park in Central PA. We left on a bitter cold Friday evening in late January after a high school wrestling match. Four of my friends had snowmobiles and I had Candy. Loaded her down with all the gear we needed for a weekend of fishin and friends. Candy never missed a beat. She plowed through over a foot of snow in the rugged central PA mountains. Too bad her heater didnt work!
In 1989 I had to raise some money for college and saddly had to let them both go.
Now, 20 years, wife, house, two great kids, 3 dogs, a cat and pony for my little girl later, my wife says she wants a horse so she can ride with our daughter. Expensive, but hidden potential. I say "sure,,, but" "if your gettin a horse, so am I." She smiles and thinks I gonna ride with her. ;D ! I've got other plans!
So why do you need to know all this? Well guyz (and girls?), I am looking for my first love. Has any one seen Kelly or Candy? If you've seen them or any of their sister that are available, "Send 'em my way"
Hope you enjoyed!
