The wife is hinting I should sell my 95 XLT F150 "and the Yamaha" to quickly replenish one Savings account we rarely ever touch. I say "only the Ford."
The reason is I can retire in four years and I paid cash for my dream car on 10/21/13. A restored 1969 El Camino(rebuilt 350, mild cam, Edelbrock, Holly Headers and 3" pipes to the back, with MSD). I had been shopping 68-70 El Caminos for over 30 years, since I sold my green "beater-daily driver" in 1979 for a boring new 1980 Toyota truck.
A week ago we also bought the wife a loaded 2010 Lexus RX350(large down so very small payments) to replace her 98 Volvo S70 GLT(we are giving to our 28 year old son).
I rode the FZ1 to work yesterday, for the first time since my ride to Antioch, CA on the Sacramento south river road to see the El Camino on 10/20. I FORGOT how much fun the FZ1 is(even committing). I told her last night, even though the El Camino is not a daily driver and insurance(Haggerty) says its is to be stored in a locked garage, I'll sell F150 but would rather not sell the Yamaha. What are your thoughts? :waiting:
