I have a friend who’s owned his 66 Blue/White GT350 since 1969 but he paid way too much for it $1500, I only paid $1,000 for mine
Losing friends is tough, we lost close friend to Covid, he went from healthy, to “I feel sick”, the hospital, to intensive care, to paralyzed, assign away in less than a week.
People ask me why I drive the car so much, 240,600+ miles on it as of last week) I figure I only have a limited amount of time before I’m too old, too broke and physically unable to do it, so I hope to be on my deathbed saying “I’m glad I did” rather than “I wish I had”
Enjoy life while you can
