DeTomaso Mailing List: June 2001, Message #244

Dear Catman,
I love it when someone's actually happy about something wonderful, and you 
surely sound happy today. Great news and glad that you're jazzed.  Happy 
travels and be safe over the summer!
I am happy too, after a visit to my teachers' credit union today...and, NO, I 
don't think I'll live to ever be paid up entirely...with my car habits, but I 
did learn that they offer a new improved loan rate on a Visa that I can 
transfer my car loan(s) onto and that makes me mighty happy.  With my credit 
union I can make phone payments, and in this busy world... that's perfect for 
me.  So.... looks like the (excuse the expression, newest of "kickbutt" : ) 
Fiberglass mobiles, will cost even less after all.. maybe I can afford that 
Insight now and save $ on gas too).  I only need these alternative vehicles, 
mind you, so that I don't wear out my irreplaceable Yokos : )   
p.s. Thanks to Kirby for selling me one.  Just for your info.. any of you who 
have checked out SoCalPantera.com (Jim Kucera's great TPOC website) and 
wonder why I didn't win a trophy at the Huntington Beach Concours..... IT'S 
ONLY BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY DIDN'T CHECK THE "JUDGE ME" BOX ..(A MAJOR FAUX 
PAS) OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRSST.... haha.
Anyway I didn't cry for long as I was too busy visiting with Gary Patterson 
from SSCC and Shelby fame.... so there : )~

First off, I had a call from the bodyman. Couldn't believe it. All the
blocking has been done. I have to inspect it tomorrow but the painting
will be done by weeks end and sent back to me the following Wednesday!
WOW (I MEAN WOOOOOOOWWWWW)! Heh heh. I just have to go to the autobody
store tomorrow, pick up 2 more quarts of clear, the Corsa Red paint, and
PCL primer and pretty much he'll be done. Then,  if I can, I'm going to
take some time off to putting in all the electricals and brakes. July
will have me putting in more time to shoehorn in the engine, cooling,
and the interior. Later, a full on alignment will occur and a
professional tune up sometime after that (hopefully before my Active
Duty for Training on the M-1A1 tanks doing gunnery at Fort Hunter
Liggett this summer).

As a bonus, I just went to my credit union today and had picked up the
pink slip!!!!! #2428 is unofficially mine but she's all paid up. Cool,
very cool. I should say this is a red letter day!!!!! (hee hee, I can't
help but electronically blush here)! O.k. Back to reality. That's about
it. Then it's on to #6659. Cal "berry berry happy" E #2428.
