Sorry guys, I was in the hospital, angry, depressed, etc. My whole riding season thus
far has been destroyed by waiting for sutures from various and sundry back surgeries
to heal.
I was dwelling on that and became a bit of a hermit for a while. (calling a spade a spade)
but I have pulled out of operation death spiral and am back now, even if I will have a
short period soon where I'll be in a new place and won't have DSL yet, but that'll be
a temporary thing.
I'll send you both my cell # so you can reach me where ever I may roam. |

Hey Brian, great to hear from you again.
I was wondering about you about a week ago thinking we'd not heard from you in a while.
At least you are on the mend again...

i wondered what had happened to you and your all-night posts. glad to hear your still kickin!
and that AMX makes me smile. my dad had one for about a year, but he sold it so my mom could fund her money pit of a hair salon. i was an enraged ten-year old. |

I'm hoping that the insomnia that had plagued me is a thing of the past, but it is good
to be missed when you're gone!
My 16yo son finally got to see it in person and I think he's already making plans on
how best to get his grubby mitts on it. Can't blame him though |

Awww GEEZ Brian - you shoulda NEVER let your (or ANY) 16yo male of the species see that Javelin!
HIDE THE KEYS!!!
Gawd, I am dating myself - our neighbor had a Javelin and the ads of that time were "HEY JAVELIN!" - and we'd ALL holler it everytime we'd see one with windows down. |

Don: Not one single, solitary, mile. all this started in december....and I'm seeing
the doctor again today.
Kristi: It's good to be back
Steve: Don't I know it! My uncle owned a red 74 AMX when I was a kid with "born to be
wild" painted across the back of the spoiler....later in the Navy I owned a fairlane 500
when I came across a 74 AMX for sale back in the late 80s (I was 18) and I bought it
the next day. Since then...a 72 Javelin SST, a 69 AMX, and a 70 Javelin SST. no 2 at once.
I was sad to see each one go, but between a friend totaling the 71, the 69 burning when
I was underway on the ship and having kids to drain the finances they all slipped
away from me.
I'm hoping to keep this one for ever and ever and ever...... |

Brian,
It's funny how the old car thing goes. After seeing your first post regarding the Javlin I got to thinking about my old AMC. I used to have a 1972 Gremlin X. It had the six in it, not the V8. I did have a friend that had one of those however.
I got to wondering how available the Gremlins were and did a bit of Googling.
Man they are getting a good bit of change for them now! I don't think I'd ever get one but it was kind of fun to poke around and think about the old days.......
Lots of cool memories from that car, I wonder what became of some of the front seat passengers..... hmmmm.. More plesant memories!

Man did I EVER LUST after an AMX.
Gotta do my Hansen-framed Kawi H2R first...
These guy-fantasies are gonna keep me broke, I'll never retire if I keep this up. |

Steve,
I think Toni would have a problem with you trying to pass off my privates for an automobile.  |

Great looking car Brian! I was always a Pontiac guy, but the guy across the street had 3 javelins when I was in high school and man I would drool everytime I came home and saw them. |

Nice to see you back, sorry to hear it's been a tough time.
Javelin looks very cool. Donohue/Penske inspiration sounds good to me 
Nice tattoo too! |

Thanks guys, and Steve, You are not alone in your desire for a 69 AMX. I had
one when I was in the Navy, but it burned to the ground while I was out to sea under
what the police termed "suspicious circumstances". My insurance company fought me
forever and a day before paying a fraction of what it was worth. The 70 AMX is even
more rare and valuable these days too, plus the 401 became available in 70.
I'm in my new place in Columbia MO and have internet connection again so I'm really
back now. |
