Okay guys. This is Ms Carrera.

You're making me feel bad. I thought you’d be more receptive to my earlier photos. Alas, I only got one encouraging response. So here's one more try. If you don't like this, maybe you just don't desire a real, tangible, women?

Thursday after work. Rear passenger side sway bar mount cracked and tore loose while dad & his wife are down on vacation.

I have good neighbors. One with a 110 MIG welder, another who had the time to weld it. Total cost: $20 & 4 beer.

Thanks Byron! I agree old car owners share a "brotherhood" of sorts. The guy who loaned the welder has a 52 Buick, and the guy who welded the sawy bar mount has an old Chev truck. Maybe not the same taste in vehicles, but they know what it's like to be in a pinch.

Even cooler was that I was able to diagnose the problem, and find the solution on this BBS... where the car was found in the first place. The term "neighbor" extends a lot further now.

Here's a picture of dad, his wife & their dog enjoying their roadtrip:

m325ix,

I really like the color coordinated trim. I had to check to see if the frontal angle was a reflection in the garage door glass, but that would have been asking too much.

Thanks for the Monday morning wake up.
