OMG, not another car!

January 16th, 2008 at 01:41 am

Dh called his father tonight. We are still trying to see if we can get his name off of a loan that his brother made to fix the roof on FIL's house. We are told it is off, but we have no proof on that.
In the meantime, FIL says he is going to list his old car for sale.
Obviously, my dh got his love of cars from somewhere. My FIL was working on restoring a packard for over 30 years. He finally got to old to work on it and gave up.
He bought himself a 1941 packard back about 25 years ago.
He has decided to sell it. Guess who wants to buy it? You got it, DH!!
OMG, we practically have a recession and we are thinking about car #6!!
Good thing I really love this man and he works so hard!!

    Good luck with the loan issue, I still can't believe the BIL or the bank

    Actually, a quality antique car might not be such a bad hedge against inflation. Do you ever watch the Barrett Jackson auctions?

    I feel your pain. We have 6 also. Fun to pay to have them all insured, licensed...(in addition to 3 trailers, RV, 5 tractors, bobcat...)

    Yes, we watch Barret Jackson last night and for the next 5 nights we will be watching!

    I'd buy that car in a heartbeat! Could you talk DH into selling one of the five you now have?

    Well, perhaps the car as some kind of sentimental value, and passing it on from father to son enhances it? It also helps keep it in the family?

    But yeah, I'd probably wonder if there was any way to keep it to a 5 car limit, and maybe sell one that he cares the least about?

    Well, good luck!

    The only one he does not care about is his work van!! He needs that to work! I am thinking about putting the 1978 corvette for sale. It has not been driven in 2 years!
