I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Nope!

If i never post again, it will be due to the wife's cast iron frying pan resting on my head 100 times. Got anyone who can pick it up for me Jen?

Is that a genuine 8-track in the console next to the Star Trek transporter levers? Interesting buy!

At least part of it is Ford.

How about that Hi Fi system. Very interesting (cool) buy.

Nice buy!! I suprised more of the folks here don't have one. They were all Ford powered if I remember correctly. These I bet will only go up in value.

I have liked those since "gone in 60 seconds 2 : deadline auto theft" when toby halicki was driving in the aqua duct with all the cops behind him and he escapes via the helicopter! such a cool looking car for the era.

Congrats JC, but you're not actually gonna sell Jinx are ya? Bricklins are very cool kinda like a all North American version version of the Pantera.

AP wire service Alberta:
A half-naked man was reported running through the streets of Lethbridge, Alberta, today in his underwear, his wife in hot persuit with a rolling pin,

after it was reported that the man went crazy and bought a mid-life crisis car.
The Brickin he bought was made in the Banana Republic of Canada for 3 years before it went bankrupt, losing $25,000,000 forthe Province of New Brunswick for their part in the manufacturing of the Brickin SV-1. Of the approximately 2900 manufactured in 1974, 1975 and 1976, almost 1500 are known to exist.

The man was last seen hiding in a dumpster behind a 7-11. His father, a long time antique car afficiando, when asked for comment, only said "HE BOUGHT WHATTT!!!!???"

I can't wait for my midlife crisis JC. I am glad to see that growing old has nothing to do with growing up

Post by **Greg D** » April 19, 2007, 10:05 am

A friend of mine asked me if I was having a "mid-life crisis" when he saw my 93 Stang ragtop. He said I was definately having one when he saw the 05 GT!

JC, you got a place to stay if you need one.

Post by **Greg D** » April 19, 2007, 11:59 am

BTW JC, this is truck forum not a Bricklin forum, lol. Seriously you seen these? http://bricklin.org/ http://www.californiabricklinowners.org/ http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/BRICKLINEWS/

I used to see quite a few of those around here in the 80's...then they all seemed to disappear. I saw the first one in years last summer at a car show.
Actually, in the 80's I thought they were a kit car, because they used 280Z taillights. It wasn't until maybe 10 years ago that I discovered they were an assembly line made car.

Congrats on your newest garage stuffer!

j-mac · Post by **j-mac** » April 19, 2007, 12:14 pm

Hahah, oohhhh boy! I guess I don't have enough distance from the 80's yet in order to fully appreciate its beauty. AHEM!

You were joking about the part where you sell your truck for it though, right?

Aldergrove is 10 minutes down the road! What's yer shipping plan?

Johnny Canuck · Post by **Johnny Canuck** » April 19, 2007, 12:41 pm

Greg. Just joined the Yahoo group, but i have seen the other 2 quite a bit already.
Jen, so far I have not heard a thing from the dude, want his Phone # before I send him any cash in case he is a scammer.

Then, one of the women I work with is going out to Van next week to get her daughter at UBC, was gonna cruise out with her and check it out. If I can get it drivable, i will run it back. 800 miles of rocky mountain roads, what could go wrong in a 32 year old car that hasn't run in 4 years?

If I can't get it runnable, I will come back and find a shipper, prolly cheaper than running out with a trailer to get it.

LOL they are a thing of all-Canuck beauty, whatchya talking about

JC
