Last weekend was one for the record books for me. The worst part was my mom's passing on Sunday, but to start the weekend off right (wrong actually) my daughter killed her car on Friday afternoon as Deb and I are driving to Phoenix. She has it towed to a shop in Azusa where it is pronounced DOA. It's a 93 Toyota Tercell with about 130,000 miles and a thrown connecting rod. Basically the motor is worth more than the car, so I end up selling the CARcass to the tow company for $150.00. Better than a sharp stick in the eye, I always say.
Anyway to cap off the crappy weekend, I need another Car for my daughter. Anyone with any ideas?

I'll have a 94 gt mustang convert (5.0) black with black top, tan interior, automatic for sale in a few weeks. Has 100k miles but has sat in the garage for the last 3 years. It's going to the shop in two weeks to get a clean bill of health. I'll have to see what it's worth if your interested. I thought I would drive it when I bought my conv bmw, but I was kid'n myself. Now I drive my truck everyday, so unless I sell it, it will continue to sit.
Pm me if you are interested.

Hey Matt,
I can't help you with the car business but I wanted to chime in what little support I can.
I'm sorry about your mom. You are still a fortunate man in that you have a beautiful family and you guys are there for each other. It was great to hear that your son is doing better. Deb is a great woman. She will handle the hardships that are upon her.
Don't let it take away your strength. Good times are ahead, my friend.
- Tom

Man Matt, you guys have nothing but bad luck. Unbelievable.
By the way, when do you want to play poker?
Sorry, I just had to lighten things up a little, and maybe put a smile on your face. Hope to see you guys out at the family boating day next weekend.
