Well, been a long month, had an accident in the old Z31 (a suby wagon decided to wreck on the interstate and I hit him), a really nasty one, insurance company is taking forever, probably gonna end up with a lawyer involved soon. Ive been a 24 year-old unemployed auto technician for over 6 months, struggling to pay bills and student loans and the list could go on... the accident caused me to lose a job I was about to start... on top of being carless.
I had came across a 76 280 in really nice shape, just took a few pics and got the number etc... was just really curious about it, thought maybe when the insurance comes through, I might could get it. I gave my dad (who is nice enough to help me out with a home and some financial and moreso moral support most of all) the number and asked if he could call and inquire while I was visiting family and helping out with christmas prep. I get a ride home and what the hell? The 280 I had checked out earier is parked outside of the house.... my dad nowhere to be found... I call him and ask him what is the 280 doing outside? and he says "isnt that where you normaly park your car?" My dad gave me the biggest suprise I could have ever had... another S30, a NICE one... I had always wanted another since I had to sell my 77 for college money... I just thought this was a story worth posting, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, and to all of those suffering from the economy, HAVE FAITH AND KEEP YOUR SPIRITS HIGH! Good things will happen to you when you least expect it!
