I'm running out the door to buy paint in all colors of the rainbow and stencils of little partridges to decorate my new found treasure til I get the e-mail that says nothing but [B]NO I cross my T's and dot my I's in pleading my case for the new addition. I describe all the wonderful weekends we'd have with it, the places we'd go, the comments we'd get and click on the "send" button The reply is "YUCK" my heart sinks, shot down again 47 International Hmmmm..... someone's giving away a 25' sailboat.....I promise not to TP Davis under canopy..

GravityGirl 0 #2 July 2, 2004 Okay. I'm laughing my ASS off right now. Where the hell would you put that thing? How would you tow it? What the fuck are you thinking? Actually, I thought it was cool until the whole doesn't run thing. I would have helped you paint it too! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

GravityGirl 0 #5 July 2, 2004 Hey! I was discouraging him! But the painting part sounded like fun. I know, just bring out some body paints to the DZ this weekend instead. That will saticfy my painting craving. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyesspot 0 #6 July 2, 2004 My first thought was blue skies and clouds w/skydivers... but but but.. it's just so OLD and and and... JUST YUCK Edited cuz I didn't know that Lodi has a bus like that...Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #7 July 2, 2004 Go get the bus. You can always get a new g/f, a '47 bus is a chick magnet. From the pic, I'd say you're going to need a snatch strap to get it out of the creek. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #8 July 2, 2004 that would be so cool! drag it to the dz, put it up on blocks (just for support, keep the tires on it so it looks like it might move) then paint it up, way cooler than a tent or motorhome!"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

You might want to check if it has a motor dude.... And if it has, how much of it is left. I saw people try this trick in Z Hills times after time. Always fun watching them throw cash at it for 6 months, only to get oily and broke. You can actually pick up running school buses pretty cheap these days. They have about a million miles on them, but go forever, as long as you don't park them in a creek for 40 odd years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cvfd1399 0 #16 July 2, 2004 So does wives.....
