It was a hard day for me personally, I had to part with a piece of my life that I have given a lot of time, blood, sweat and tears into. It was my beloved Escort GT. In a long story short, when I got it, it was not running neglected and down right pathetic. I put my full effort into this car, I built it up and gave it a new life but at the end it was the age and weather that did her in. I wish I could have kept her, just to pass it to my son, but as it was being loaded onto the flatbed and as she was riding high just one last time a tear came to my eye realizing that was the end of a decade and the end of a dream passing it onto my son.
On a lighter note I did luck into another one in a different color and I manged in the length of 6 months put all of my knowledge of what I did to that one into the new car. All of the mods and tech stuff that I had done he now knows and has hands on experience, so now the dream off passing it on has been rekindled, and I know deep down he will be able to maintain and continue modding after I leave off and maybe if all goes well he can pass it on to his son.
A teary departure and resurrection, to use a quote "...these are the best of times, these are the worst of times....." this is proven time and time again to be so true.
