you have to be careful on a boat...


having fun on a boat can lead to you becoming a dad.



Well it just started    ;D

A 19' Stingray ZPX, and some beer, got me married and a,.....a 6'2" son,..... ;)

Congratulations you rascal you....... ;)

Congratulations, TAB. Now you can share with him your love of tools and guns.

you forgot boats and boobies.   ;D

Ok well butts, legs, aw hell women as a whole.


I'm actually already thinking about buying a car for him.  We have 3 personal cars, none of which are safe.  73 fiat spider, 84 bronco( with 450+ on the clock, motor and trannys has never been touched)  and my wifes stang( which she will mostlikly never sell).   

I'm thinking maybe a MKZ  Or a fusion, I just have to figure out how to pay for it.   I'm thinking if I sell a boat or two and the fiat I will have about 10k I can put down.  Payment for a MKZ will still be in the mid 500s  About 350 on the fusion.

With having about 1.8 mill out right now, I don't know if I will be even able to get a loan.  Money is not so easy to get these days.

On the plus side, we have about 4 months of resevers for the company right now.  which is a very good thing.


PS  they are both asleep right now... its a good thing.  :)
Title: Re: Remember when I said this...
Post by: tombogan03884 on September 02, 2011, 08:07:49 PM
Relax TAB, you have over 15 years to think about a car.
By then they may run on fusion  ;D   @5,000 ft   ;D

I think he means he wants a safer car to drive the kid around in.....amazing the changes in the lil ones bring.
Title: Re: Remember when I said this...
Post by: TAB on September 02, 2011, 08:17:17 PM
I won't be buying him a car.  He will have to do what I did to buy my 1st car.  

You know get a job.

I bought mine for the price of a battery, some fuel injectors, gas and about 6 hours cleaning out all the junk in the fuel system.

I think I pushed that truck more then I drove.    It was a real POS, but it was mine.

All 3 of our cars are litterly death traps.  I mean litterly death traps.  not to mention they all only have lap belts in the back seats.  which is no good for new car seats.

Post by: Timothy on September 02, 2011, 08:41:17 PM
I've seen the base model Fusion for under 18K on the east coast.  I nearly bought one myself a few months ago but the wife didn't like it.  She's a little bitty thing of 5'-0" and thought it was a bit big for her.   She likes her pickup better anyway!
Title: Re: Remember when I said this...
Post by: TAB on September 02, 2011, 08:46:06 PM
The model I'm looking at is about 28 out the door.  I figured I'd offer ~ 10k up front and about high 25s/ low 26s.

Post by: TAB on September 02, 2011, 09:27:26 PM
yeah, AWD, some options, but no nav system BS.

Its one of those things, In 5 years my wifes salary will have gone up by many 10s of thousands, so I'm thinking buy a car that will have decent resale value in 5 years( IE when the warrenty is out)

Well you know I tried to talk the wife into selling the stang, me selling a boat.   you know so I could buy a pantera to "store"  ;)  for him.


It would only see enough miles to make sure the motor and seals stayed fresh.   ;D

What a Dad!   ;D ;D

You'll raise a good son, TAB, (or a daughter), ...kids.  They'll know how to work and earn what they want.

Hell, they'll turn out ok even if they are a little bit like you.   ;D ;D ;D

But encourage them to escape.

TAB, you're aware that the Lincoln MKZ and the Ford Fusion are pretty much the same car with a bit of change to the front and rear fascias, interior style and fake "mahogany burl" inlay and not much else, right?

Don't waste your money on a Lincoln.

Yep, been trying very hard... plan to keep on trying as long as I'm able... hopeful when the wife is on birth control.   ;D

Wait till the little bugger gets the "rubber arms".
It's easy right now, he just eats, poops, and sleeps
You can put something 5 feet of the floor and the 2ft tall little blighter will reach up and, if it's fragile, knock it over and play with the shards, if it's poisonous he will gnaw on it.
Then there are the "terrible 2's".    ;D
Fascinating little creatures, babies are.   ;D
  Have fun  ;D

Whats sad, I think of all the things I use to do that he won't be able too.


Hell even the guys a generation after me couldn't do what I did.



I've got all the grandparents and the great grand parents coming over tomarrow...  yuck...

heaven forbid we get some time to ourselfs. 2 weeks and my wife has to go back to work, I luckly can work mostly from home now, which is both a curse and a blessing at the same time.

No such thing....  ;)  ;D ......for a looooong time to come..........even after they are grown and married. Our oldest is grown, gone, and has children of his own......... and the youngest is engaged and building a house........... and they both (along with their wife/fiancee') manage to phone several times apiece EVERY DAY.......never know when the phone will ring or a vehicle will pull into the yard.
