So after a week of playting phone tag, I made an offer of $5000 on the following TR8.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/car/252348957.html

The dealer told me if the car is still around by next week then its mine. The car is rust free, but looks to need a lot of sorting out (thanks Kevin for checking the car over). Good deal? Still too much? It's probably true that if I could find a restored or very clean CA car that passes smog then I could probably save $ in the long run.
 
Larry, are you married. You can't be and have a 1. TR6, 2. a TR4 half finished, and 3. trying to get a TR8 that needs "sorting out". We all know what sorting out means.
 
Bill,

51 years old, two teenagers who live with me 50% of the time, two jobs, no social life.

My former wife ran off with her law school professor (a retired superior court judge) eight years ago. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif Anyone need advise on custody law? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif Working on my cars is therapy.
 
Larry, I think you've got yourself a deal...for $5K you've got yourself a very nice car and "shop" therapy that no shrink could match. Hope it goes through.

Tom
 
Holy cow this sounds familar... two kids and my ex ran off with a cop then(left him for an insurance sales man then him for a bouncer then him for a Army SGT, then him for a married Doc, then him for a financial guy then now a dentist I think). She got the house and the back account, I got the kids and the debt. My therapy when the kids went to spend their two week-ends a month was my 8. Spend lots for time therapy-izing with my 8. 10 years later I have 2 beautiful teenangers and my 8, she has 2 more ex's, no house and no real realationship with even her own kids. Sucks to be her. Glad to see other dads stepping up for thier kids
