Selling my 60 :(

[philos1]

hey all, selling the tootsie roll since commuting in it is killing me (monetarily as well as mentally)

I'll likely get another when time/money permits, but with the new house/kid and work I need something better suited to my usage.

If I can fit it in the schedule, I'd like to get some more wheeling in before she goes, so I'll try and get something going...

Am I still allowed to lurk over here?

cheers,
shane.

oh, a link as well

Bummer bro..... Oh and we will let you lurk around here if you step up and get an 80 for your next Cruiser adventure.....

 

[philos1]

hahaha. then I'd really be in trouble.

I may get an older FJ80 and put a V8 in that especially since they can be had for pretty cheap nowadays...

 

[LandCrusher'70]

Wow that's too bad. I really dig your rig.

An 80 w/ a V8 would be nice!!

 

[Ulyses]

"dig your rig"

That sounds funny, at least to me

 

[philos1]

yup, I'm sure I'll miss it when it's gone. I'd likely be keeping it if I could swing two personal vehicles, but I know that I'll have another as my lifestyle permits it.

I haven't seen it in person but it sure looks like a sweet rig. I faced the same dilema about a month and a half ago and wound up getting an older Corolla that gets 30 mpg for $2400. The savings monthly in gas is twice what the payment is and my insurance actually went down.

Man I am sounding like Kevin (Boston Mangler) now.

Just thought I would throw it out there in case it might help you keep the Cruiser.

 

[philos1]

Yeah, I can't keep two vehicles. Plus I need to sell the 60 first in order to have the cash. It sucks having a good job and all your money is already spent on frivolous things like kids and mortgages...

Weren't you out on the "Turkey Sandwich Run"?

 

[Giulitto]

He left early to catch up with the other group.

I hear you on that one.

Weren't you out on the "Turkey Sandwich Run"?

I forgot about that. I did see it. My memory sucks, like a 100 year old man trapped in a 36 year old body.

He left early to catch up with the other group.

Ouch, that is one I try to forget about. Never try to meet up with those guys again.

 

[philos1]

too funny...

 

[Giulitto]

If you ever decide to part her out, I would love the seats! You know just if you ever decide to do that...........

 

[philos1]

 

[philos1]

Looks like it's going on Sunday...I miss her already.

 

[bluto]

Well you did say you were going to build another Land Cruiser - so something to look forward to I guess.

 

[Slomo]

That is a bummer of a sight watching your baby drive away with someone else behind the wheel. I feel for you.

 

[Giulitto]

Looks like it's going on Sunday...I miss her already.

Quick take the seats out, they won't notice! OH and the engine!

 

[philos1]

Too late Giulitto - early delivery, it went today.

He will likely join up with the SoCal80's for a few runs.


his name is Ky (sounds like Kee), it's his first cruiser and I think he's hooked (already asking about further mods )

generic sedan, here I come


as soon as the pocketbook has some more padding and my time schedule permits, there will likely be another one.
