    Sad day in March

    My Dad passed away at the end of March, he was 80 years old and loved life and cars, he started my brother and I onto cars at very young age. I love the new site, it will take a bite to get used to and I think Sally will like it in time, change is hard.

    Very sorry for your loss.  My dad was a car guy too. I can remember him helping me put a rebuilt 390 in my $100 dollar 66 Tbird in 1980 like it was yesterday. I was 15 and thought I knew everything.
    Cherish your memories.

    Sorry to hear that. My dad would have turned 80 tomorrow. He was partial to Chevys and looked at me in bewilderment as I fell for Mustangs.

    Sorry to hear of your loss.   My dad would turn 107 in December if he was still around.  You are very fortunate yours was around through a big portion of your adult life.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Dave, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.  My Dad made to a bit past 90 and had a very good life.  We lost him two  years ago so I know  how you are feeling.   As others have said, cherish your fond memories.

    Re: Sad day in March

    Very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, Dave. I am so thankful that my dad at 89 is still with us and going strong. I lost my mom in 2007 and my wife's parents are both gone. I do not look forward to when his time comes. I can understand what a hole in your life is created by the loss of a dad. Just think of the good times you two shared, and you will gain comfort from that.
