The Triumph of a Lifetime

Now this is not any great personal triumph that may have taken me a lifetime of dedication and determination to accomplish. It is about a really cool car deal that my husband ran across just recently. Before thinking we are “crazy” for purchasing this vehicle (toy), let me assure you that we are not. With a little fixing up, tinkering around and a reasonable investment, we will have a “cool” car that will turn heads. Our son enjoys taking it for spins, our granddaughters think it is “so cute”, and our grandsons think it is “cool.”

Important “facts” we must keep in mind when we go for a cruise in our new toy. Number one: Do not attempt to leave the garage if there is the slightest chance of rain….there is no top! Number two: Be sure you keep a watch on the oil and transmission levels…have a quart or two in your purse before leaving the driveway. And lastly, stay away from the monstrous SUVs, they may suck you up their tailpipes. It is, ummm, will be a cute car when restored (2 or 3 years from now) and it runs! The “deal of a lifetime”…..$100 (depending on how you look at it). The “car of a lifetime”……1978 Triumph Spitfire Sports Car!
