Finally, I can drive my Chally guilt free
« on: December 19, 2012 - 07:26:11 PM »
Just turned the big 50 today.  A few years ago, I initially planned to buy a mopar to restore and complete by today.  But 2 years ago, I ended up finding the challenger that was much further along.  So. I've had the chance to enjoy it in the mean time, while I've finished off a bunch of small projects on her. 

Wishin' it hadn't snowed, and the plow man hadn't put down a ton of salt.  I'd have taken her for a ride today. 

Cheers

Thanks Guys and Jackie. 

50 seemed so far away back then.  Now, time just flies by.  But to be honest, it's not as scary as it seemed - just all those candles might start a fire.   :villagers:

Happy Birthday!!
50 isn't old, it's the beginning of your second half of life.
I turn 50 in Sep, and still act like a kid.
- Simple philosophy, grow up but don't grow old

Again, Happy Birthday!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks again for all the happy birthday wishes.  These are my philosophies as well.

Plus I have a 6 year old daughter who keeps me running as well.    :swaying: :crazy: :jumping:  She won't let me get old.  :clapping:
