Well, yesterday was a very sad day indeed. I lost my free additional parking next door as the house sold and I had to clear my cars out of the driveway. I am very limited on parking now and was forced to take my Bumble Bee and stuff her away all alone in a storage building. Poor girl loves to be driven and driven hard but now she just sits all alone in darkness. I contacted a couple of people to see if they wanted to be foster parents but had no luck. I know these cars would rather be driven than just sitting but my storage is in another town and not real convienient to get to with my schedule. I will try to get out to see her at least once a month and exercise her but I'm sure she is pretty pissed at me now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My deepest sympathies Shoe. Such a sad sad dilema you are in. Hey you could always bring her way way up north for foster care (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . We got snow last night yet again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

That is sad, did the new owners of the house next door meet you first. So sad, they are going to be shocked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

You can fly out once a year to drive it for WCR. I'll take it out once a week no problem. I know what you all are going to say. I am way to kind. What can I say " I am giver" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

I'm fostering my sister's Audi TT 3.2 Quatro for the winter. It's not easy, but I do what I can... Oh, wait. I think it's about time I took her out for some exercise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Shoe,
If you have room on your lot & the town allows it, look into one of those prefab metal or wood shed kits, that you can build yourself on a slab, & access off your driveway. That way you can hopefully build one big enough to store both the Bee & your parts stash, as well as whatever your wife insists on going in there! I did a 10x17 Arrow metal shed (has 8' w. dbl. doors on one end) for about $1200 for parts, biz & household stuff (limited size by city) & my son & I built it in a week or so, plus cost/time for a framed raised wood floor since it's not an extra garage at additional cost (about $1600 all in - your slab cost might be less). It's not insulated due to SoCal climate, but they can be insulated, and come in various widths & lengths depending on what you want & size allowed. Same with the wood framed kits. Look online, pick what you want (& what the wife will "approve of"), then Google by that type for best price supplier cuz they vary vastly plus some are free shipping offers too (wood kits are 2x - 3x more but look better). I found mine $300 off + free shipping (about $80-90 savings). Don't know what your storage space costs, but we saved $75/mo. on my wife's parents' stuff stored in Little Rock that's in part of that shed now, & I had 1/2 my garage filled with daughter's & wife's & my biz stuff - both of which would've cost me $100-150 locally in SoCal to store off-site. So I figure it's paid for itself since we built it in Summer of 2009! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Yes Doc, they have met me so there is a chance the house will stay vacant and I can keep the parking.
She is smoking hot though and so is the one on the other side of them. Those guys better keep an eye on their ladies. Steve- if I dropped her off out there you'd never get the creamsicle going. Tom, I would build a shop in the backyard in a heartbeat but unfortunately I can get a car back there without tearing down the neighbors fence, which I have mentioned to him on more than one occaision. I have considered selling and moving but with the economy right now I guess I am staying put. As for the wife, I had one for awhile but her husband finally came and got her and took her back home. She still calls sometimes. |

Sorry Shoe... hang in there. You'll figure it out. Get rid of the RV + boat. You could always sell your LE to a friend... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I could never sell Delilah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)! I promised the po that I would keep her forever and I will. However, I have been known to loan her out for months at a time just to make sure she stays lubed and happy.
