Sorry I haven't been on for awhile, but I hope to remedy that in the days ahead. Family was out of the country for a few weeks, got back this week, so it's been a readjustment period for everybody.

It's ok. I haven't had as much time as I'd like either.
I've just gotten a "new" car, my first actually. A 1974 VW Beetle, runs great, looks nice, needs a little work... not surprising as it's 35 years old. So I've been busy clearing room for it in the barn, learning to drive it and get my license which I've put off for far, far too long. After the 4th I should be more active in the evenings.
Also I've not heard from Defiant in some time. I'm assuming big RL stuff as he's never gone this long without school or something forcing him away. In his stead if you need anything just PM or email me ( l.bargara@gmail.com ). Hopefully he won't be gone very long. I expect I'll probably hear from him tonight or tomorrow. Keep the fingers crossed.

Thanks for the reassurance, Linc.
A 34-yo car? Well, that'll keep you busy. Just keep a pair of good walking shoes in the trunk. *wink*
Forgot to say previously, Bucket got a pic! Good job.

It's a volkswagon though. No computer, air-cooled... things will be driving on fricking mars, someday. It's in near perfect condition, the engine is anyway, paint-job was done shoddy back in the 90's and a few other bits need work.
Volkswagon's are basically the real-world equivalent of a Firefly, simple, far from perfect but just damn reliable and beautiful if taken care of and given a bit of love.
Personally I'd wanted an older one, but I'd liken my reaction to seeing this one to Mal turning around and seeing Serenity sitting all dusty and beaten at the edge of the junker lot. Except my baby was dusty and stored in the corner of a friends garage. He had to lift it and pull it away from the wall to back it out! How many cars can you seriously park like that?

Whoa. Linc- THAT IS COOOL. Always great to have a project.
Nice imagery too :)
Its shiny when moments like that happen in real life.
Im not sure if I envy your start-up repair works, even if shes a simple reliable running thing.
Like Dale, I have no skill or connection with machines and their workings.

Hey guys. Yes, I had RL stuff again, but now I have two weeks of freedom!

I'm not much of a mechanic myself but I learn easily. I also have a pretty easy time with machines so hopefully it won't be so hard. My dad however is very skilled and the guy I bought it from is a friend and a decent mechanic himself. He only sold it since he didn't have time for it and wanted to spend what he did have working on his other baby, an awesome Oldsmobile 442. Can't get much different than a 442 and a Beetle.. lol.
WELCOME BACK DEFIANT! I knew it was just something simple like that. Glad you're on break now too.

Take your time. No need for a rush, post it when you feel it's done to your satisfaction.
No I wasn't waiting for a post today. I honestly just got online right as you posted. Weird huh?
