Your story in interesting, and we love pictures of "period built" cars around here. You definitely started off on the right foot by introducing yourself and including those pics. There are web sites which spell out appropriate “netiquette”, which is etiquette for the internet. It might be worth a brief reading.

If you read most of my posts, you’ll see I often misspell and mistype words, so I am full of fault in that aspect. This post is a little easier to read, but if you are going to make an effort to make posts which are easier to follow, please take the following edit in the positive way it is intended.

I guess my story was hard to read for some, <font color="red"> (insert space after comma)</font> I <font color="red"> (capital I) </font> just got used to texting <font color="red"> (space between &amp;, but the word “and” would be preferred)</font> &amp; that's why it's so confusing-LoL <font color="red"> (end this thought with a period and always double space after a period) </font> I would like to clarify the story.

<font color="red"> (New paragraph)- </font> I was tracking down one of my Dad's Old car. <font color="red"> (period would be appropriate, not a comma) </font>It was a Very Hard car to find. <font color="red"> (double space) </font>When i <font color="red"> (capital I)</font> did find it, <font color="red"> (space after comma and no capital T)</font> The guy who has it <font color="red"> (no comma no capital A)</font>,Agreed to sell it <font color="red"> (no capital B) </font> Back, <font color="red"> (space after comma and no capital B) </font>But he wanted-$35,000-as it sat <font color="red"> (should have a period here, so double space after it) </font> It needed a wire harness <font color="red"> (use the word and)</font>&amp;with it fixed he said the price would Jump to -$50,000! <font color="red"> (double space) </font> He paid $5,500 <font color="red"> (word and)</font>&amp;was <font color="red"> (lowercase A)</font>At the rite <font color="red"> (right) </font>place at the rite <font color="red"> (right)</font> time. <font color="red"> (double space) </font> I hope this isn’t <font color="red"> (isn’t) </font> confusing to anyone here.

I’m not the Grammar Police, and there may even be flaws with my edit, but I think your threads might be received better if you follow some of these ques.

Now, do you have any old pics of those leaves on your dad’s car? I’m sure we can blame a little of this on them j/k.
