how I managed to find and buy my new Tl in a week

Good job Sam!!! What did the wife say when you told her what you had done?
Have fun and heal fast

Sweet ride! You'll love the G-50 and the turbo look will let you get even crazier with upgrade goodies like wider wheels and bigger brakes!

it's nice when things come together like that
she's a beaut

way to jump back in the saddle Sam--that is a beautiful car!

[AirCooledExcellence]

Nice work Sam, lovely car!

Enjoy (once you're better)

Cheers

Lagun grün....that's my color (no, not my face , the car...) Off the top of my head L35Y, I think... fabulous car, Sam (the turbo look has ...something... (mostly behind)

What happened with the compression check? One side was feeling a bit strange?

Nothing like a little motivation to get better quickly. Nice car Sam!

Nick Lowe comes to mind...

"Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage, into a brand new caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr!"

Looks nice and a subtle color as well (which I prefer). It will sit in the garage and taunt you nightly.

Great looking car! (the new one).

I really admire people who look forward more than they look back. You're a winner. Thanks.

Q & A time :

the compression : when they first did the test one side was 160 all the way across the other was very low 110, 110 and 90 the engine had been resealed about four thousand miles ago but nothing else, they told me if they did a valve adjustment that this might bring the numbers up so we gave them the ok and after the adjustment they were all between 180 and 185 so that worked out pretty good.

as for my wife : green is her favorite color and thats her cleaning the car ( as I'm still having trouble bending over these days ) and don't think for a minute that I'm not going to milk this for all it's worth.


and as for not being able to drive it : yes this is driving me crazy just sitting in it from time to time is ok, but just knowing that there's something waiting for me when I get better makes me feel better.
one of the hardest things was going out to the garage and looking at the empty spot were my car used to be.

Great to see you back up again Sam. That is a beautiful horse your about to climb on/into.

LOL

What a great incentive to work hard in rehab.

Congratulations. Nice looking car.

[surflvr911sc]

Once again, beautiful car Sam. Between the car just waiting for you, and the awesome support you have from your wife, you should be cruising down the road in no time.

You are blessed my friend

[Bobboloo]

Love the Lagoon Green. Your one lucky SOB for more reasons than one.

[JeremyD]

Great Sam - I love a happy ending... And the G-50 w/hydraulic clutch will be easier on your hip! Excellent!

[motion]

Way to go Sam!!! Talk about climbing back on the horse!

Now, don't forget where your new one is

[Brillo]

Congratulations Sam, it's a beauty. Look forward to seeing you drive it to a breakfast meeting soon.

[SeaDweller]
