I wouldn't mind jackin' that thing sky high and throwing some 44" Mickey Thompson's on there! That'll give that flathead four a workout! What a unique wheelin' toy that would be. I kid, I kid; calm down Dave. Hey I start my adventure homeward on the 29th. What do you have going on this summer? I'm going to be home for a couple of weeks; we should try to find a car show in the area and head out there. Lemme know.
Funny you should mention that - Bolde and I were talking about Model T's as dune buggies just the other day.
My schedule for the summer is pretty open. I'm still working 7 to 3 at the Ramada. We're going to apartment hunt in Lansing but we'll be kinda back and forth. I won't be leaving my job until at least the end of June.
There are plenty of car shows around the area come July - we'll find something. I definitely want to hang out a lot, and so does Crystal.
Wow, that last ride looks pretty beastly. I had to pull the engine partially out of the bronco yesterday to change the oil pan gasket. (Stupid 4x4's and their horribly positioned frame crossmembers....) Anyway that was a task. Pain in the ass is an understatement. The old gasket had split in two and I was leaking about a quart a week through the gap. Got that fixed and now it's all sealed up nicely! All I have to do now is put a new water pump in it and it'll run like a raped ape!
So being an owner of another Escort, I feel it prudent to tell you that I might be putting him to rest :( I'm so sad about it. However you might be interested in this, although I doubt. Looks like I'm getting an 81 or 82 Citation. Yeah, anything?

Aaron, I'm sorry to hear about Pedro. What exactly is wrong with him? I hope your new car is a stick shift, driving automatics is very dull.
Amusingly, an '81 Citation actually qualifies for antique vehicle plates in the state of Michigan. First of the GM front drivers, it's not terribly interesting, but they do have a pleasing shape - especially the wagons.
If you get the version with the 2.8L V6, they're supposed to be quite nice cars - reliable and good on gas. They actually have a bit of a following if you check out www.chevytalk.org
