auburnseeker Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Last year this time I was enjoying my 290 HP 4 Speed Fuel injected Corvette and this was the symbol of Power and excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 This year this is the new symbol of power and (well not quite ) excitement. Very versatile but definitely a whole different experience. 45 HP, Diesel, Naturally aspirated, Top speed I think is 24 MPH depending on tire size. 12 Speed transmission. It does atleast have heat air a stereo and Power Steering. More options than the Vette. LOL The little rig on the back is a whole different kind of excitement as well. Not quite the average homeowner Chipper Shredder but it's what was needed to tame the jungle around this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Priorities in life dictate where we spend our money and whether we buy toys or necessities. Many times that also means selling toys to buy necessities. A wise man knows when to make the right decision. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62BillT Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Farm Tractors can be fun too. I've got a '59 John Deere 435 with the 2-53 Detroit Diesel. It actually serves two purposes. It an antique/collectors item as well as a work tractor. (although it only sees light duty work) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Wrench Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Having a spread that requires a Morbark and tractor is a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I would absolutely LOVE to trade my 69 427 Vette for almost anything. Goes like Hell if you don't mind the rattles, leaks, blazing hot in the summer, drafty in the winter, need to be ferret to work on it and a contoursonist to get in and out of it. As far as I'm concerned it's a spawn of the Devil.........Bob Edited June 15, 2015 by Bhigdog (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Having a spread that requires a Morbark and tractor is a win. That was the other part of the trade. It was also our down payment to get into this place. Old house had a tiny 1 car garage, oversized 2 car garage 24 by 28 with a stairway in the middle of it, all on .23 of an acre. New house has an oversize 1 car under the house, 28 by 50 clear span garage and 7 acres to build my dream garage at 60 by 72. I just wish I had a few more Vettes to sell to pay the place off and build that garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 "and a contoursonist to get in and out of it." You have never been in a Crossfire coupe, have you ? I'm 5'10" and needed a sawzall and a cut off tool to get comfortable. Seems to have been designed for Gus Grissom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Kudos to you! There truly IS always another car. You are doing what is required to fulfill the long term dreams of your self and your spouse. Enjoy, and well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will soon have to put my 2 Caprice Classics on the market. Not looking forward to that.
