    Anyone near Troy, Michigan that could look at a car for me?

    I am considering a 68 located at a dealer in Troy, Michigan. Anyone live close enough to pop in and check it out critically for me?  They have lots of pictures, and it looks real nice, but the unpictured stuff is what scares me.

    Michigan seems to like duplicate town names. There are two Clintons, about thirty miles apart. There are two Troy’s, one on the north side of detroit about 75 miles northeast, and one 225 miles northwest of Clinton.

    Yeah, they have cities, towns, and townships (TWP).  City of Troy is north of Detroit, not too far from Clinton Township.  Troy TWP is up north and west.  I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a township but they seem to be much smaller

    The bash is going to be at the city or town or Clinton which is west and a little south of Ann Arbor.

    I think,

    Oh, well, the car sold the first day of the listing, so no need now.
    I was just poking at Bob because his last post was in February.

    He's been busy.  Hosting a bash takes lots of special attention and preparation.  Took me two years to get ready...or was it three,  so if Bob and Cindy do it in a year they will be very special...which, of course, they are.

    I'm still here. I just didn't think anyone wanted to hear about renovating bathrooms. That has been taking up all my time right now.

    That was funny, Bob.

    So, you are putting a bathroom in your Mustang?

    I know you are kidding but as I get older, this might actually be a good idea.
