So how does one kick an Ebay tire anyway? Either you bid, or you don't...?

Not that much worse than ours when we got it. Think of all the potential it has.... just add $30K to it.

LOL No I have no problem with marriage, I'm 40 and been married for 22 years so I feel pretty good about that. A car like this that needs to be restored, now that is something altogether different! Something in this condition would have to cost 40-50k. I've got 20-25k into mine and I have never had to replace one single piece of metal! I can't even imagine!

That's about right, I had to replace a fair amount of metal and I am at the high 30's. Having the metalwork done right by professionals did not come cheap.

...and I am still married...

He should have had no reserve. Last bid was $1775 and bidding ended. Poor bird, it should never had been left to be this bad.
