It's not the ring that is irreplaceable... it's the girl who understands the addiction to automobiles

James lets hear what you have to say 10 years from now.

Cost me an original 66 l-72 4spd biscayne right to the dog dish hub caps. Wife however could power shift that thing better than I could. Six years later that ring gave me a daughter which is priceless.

Your story is the best Mac!.

Here I only had to sell off most of my stuff to pay legals, survive and feed the kids when the spit up went down...hope nobody here had the bookend effect with it happening on both ends?.

Good luck John!.

I would just like to jump in here as the lucky girl who will be getting said ring!! I am the luckiest girl ever because he understands MY addiction to cars- John has had to make room in HIS garage for the parts to my "weird little (non-watercooled Chevy) cars" in rainbow colors, including a panther pink Volkswagen he has been stuck driving [and fixing, tweaking, and hot-rodding] more than a few times, purple (soon to be turbo'd)Corvair and quite possibly the best engagement presents ever, the '68 Dart & 440 engine, which were followed by the Valentine's Day 8 3/4 rear, and maybe a Christmas 4 speed if I'm REALLY lucky & he's got any money left after the ring Yep, so you should feel sorry for him and bid up his stuff [so I can get a nice ring and] because poor Johnny's gonna be stuck rebuilding A-833's til death do us part

Thank you to all who have posted their story and input Lauren and I have enjoyed reading them ..Looks like my X-Mas shopping is done (Anyone have a A-833 for her Dart ?LOL)

Quick History she and i meet at a SCCA racing event wear we were both racing ...(My old Rabbit GTI is what got us talking )See link for pictures http://www.cardomain.com/ride/457001/3
Poor me she wakes me up early to go racing,swapmeets,Junkyarding it's tuff ..

The parts are stuff i will not need anytime soon .(With her cars and my latest project car a 1957 Chevy Bel Air factory black 245hp 2x4 car.)

I like to see the parts on the right cars instead of on a shelf ..

Thanks Again

Hmmmm..... so you are driving a pink vw? Oh my.... So, I guess you little lovebirds will be at the Maple Grove Swap meet? (under the bleachers?)

[3macs1]

Thanks Pete. She may have got the l-72 but not my parts or the two chevelles or the 66 impala.Problem is she knows exactly what a m22 looks like and what they are worth.So I cannot leave.

Some real nice items John has for sale that pump and alt sould cover the ring no problem.

Congrats to you Lauren... sounds like someone got the girl of their dreams... to many happy finishes.
