It's not the ring that is irreplaceable... it's the girl who understands the addiction to automobiles

I would just like to jump in here as the lucky girl who will be getting said ring!! I am the luckiest girl ever because he understands MY addiction to cars- John has had to make room in HIS garage for the parts to my "weird little (non-watercooled Chevy) cars" in rainbow colors, including a panther pink Volkswagen he has been stuck driving [and fixing, tweaking, and hot-rodding] more than a few times, purple (soon to be turbo'd)Corvair and quite possibly the best engagement presents ever, the '68 Dart & 440 engine, which were followed by the Valentine's Day 8 3/4 rear, and maybe a Christmas 4 speed if I'm REALLY lucky & he's got any money left after the ring Yep, so you should feel sorry for him and bid up his stuff [so I can get a nice ring and] because poor Johnny's gonna be stuck rebuilding A-833's til death do us part

Thank you to all who have posted their story and input Lauren and I have enjoyed reading them ..Looks like my X-Mas shopping is done (Anyone have a A-833 for her Dart ?LOL)

Quick History she and i meet at a SCCA racing event wear we were both racing ...(My old Rabbit GTI is what got us talking )See link for pictures http://www.cardomain.com/ride/457001/3
Poor me she wakes me up early to go racing,swapmeets,Junkyarding it's tuff ..

The parts are stuff i will not need anytime soon .(With her cars and my latest project car a 1957 Chevy Bel Air factory black 245hp 2x4 car.)

I like to see the parts on the right cars instead of on a shelf ..

Thanks Again

Hmmmm..... so you are driving a pink vw? Oh my.... So, I guess you little lovebirds will be at the Maple Grove Swap meet? (under the bleachers?)

Looks like you've got a real girl on your hands there John...maybe she'd be happy with a ring and pinion?!

Best wishes to you both!

Thanks Pete. She may have got the l-72 but not my parts or the two chevelles or the 66 impala.Problem is she knows exactly what a m22 looks like and what they are worth.So I cannot leave.

Some real nice items John has for sale that pump and alt sould cover the ring no problem.

Congrats to you Lauren... sounds like someone got the girl of their dreams... to many happy finishes.

LOL....She only lets me drive th Pink VW when it needs tunning...We will be at the Grove for the swapmeet but only making out in my truck (To Dam cold outside

The Pink VW 5 door Golf is a killer Sleeper .It's under 2k lbs with driver and the motor I built for it was dyno at 167 HP at the wheels stock was 85 HP .(no turbo or NOS )

On a short Auto X course it runs about 2-3 seconds faster then c6 Vette and BMW guy's ..I love seeing their face after getting beat by a Girl in a Pink 1986 VW Golf on street tires.All for under $1500 including the car.. Plus it makes her happy .

I am a Lucky Guy ..Plus I won't have to trade her in for a newer model ...LOL .Since she only 23 and i am 33 so i am very lucky.
