knightfan26917 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 * "You better get ready for a brand new day" | Steve Goodman | 'Go Cubs Go' I apologize for not visiting since 10/04/2016, but you might say I have been busy: MLB playoffs & buying a new-to-me 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, now my daily driver! I introduced the 03 MGM here, including a collage of photos & a walk-around video: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/24/from-the-heart-491/ When your mechanic guesses the price was $1,000 more than what you actually paid, you might have made a good decision, eh!? My 1st ROAD TRIP in it will be to Okemos MI (where a friend will take care of my current cavities), then to the Effingham IL area to hopefully take pictures of the 2003 MGM with my 81mc; let me know if you want to meet up along the way! This 79 CC farewell posted a day after I bought the 03 MGM: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/21/from-the-heart-488/ Elsewhere, this posted a week before I bought the Mercury: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/13/thursday-survey-76/ Choice of a Chevrolet or a Mercury, 1950s style! Which would you choose? Then, this posted the Monday after I bought the Mercury: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/24/daily-dose-mon-madness-78/ Dare I say I am starting to feel more motivated to accelerate this new start in my life? Sure hope it fuels more success! Have any of you ever seen this purple color on a Corvair? I kinda like it! http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/15/car-tunes-saturday-76/ Life has unexpected turns (I know all too well!), but would you agree that no turn is a wrong turn? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/09/daily-dose-savvy-sun-75/ This Kaiser Darrin, a car I would love to see in person, prompted me to ask: what vehicles do you want to see yet!? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/10/25/daily-dose-trivia-tue-78/ BTW, my 1979 Caprice Classic sedan is for sale; if you or anyone you know might be interested, TEXT me: 847 -337- 9897 Cort, www.oldcarsstronghearts.com pig&cowValves.paceMaker * 1979 CC to 2003 MGM + 81mc "Quarter notes & Hank's half time are poundin' on this heart of mine" | Eric Church | 'Record Year' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfan26917 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 * What a difference a few years make? 5 years ago this very week (dates & days), I had my catheterization Monday (11/07/2011), my 4th open heart surgery Friday (11/11/2011), & then today (Saturday evening), I was rushed back into the OR to stop some bleeding. Now, I am surprised by a Cubs World Series win & getting used to a new daily driver!
