I just spoke with Greg by phone and he's as happy as a kid at Christmas. lol
He bought the car of his dreams.

He bought a 76 Cougar right out of the showroom in 76 and still has it. It has less than 80,000 miles on it and has always been his baby. It's a deep brown with gold metal flake and is absolutely decked out. It's sadly in need of a major re-do though, and finding parts for it is daunting at least.

The car he bought is identical to it other than color. Now he's debating with himself which one to canibalize to make the other perfect. lol It's fun to hear the excitement in his voice... we really couldn't afford a "toy" right now, but he works 66 hrs a week and almost never asks for anything for himself, so I am glad he's able to get it. So the replacing of the living room flooring will have to wait a bit longer... I'll just appreciate it even more once we DO get it. lol
