[Johnnie Lawson]

I could NOT resist sharing with the list the reply recieved from Tom (Dream Car Garage) Sorry for the unusual posting but....alas...I am in need of MOTIVATION to do anything to our Chevelle, other than watching it rot in the Garage....   Johnnie   ----- Original Message ----- From: Website To: 'Johnnie Lawson' Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 9:13 AM Subject: RE: Cheaptrick Johnnie and Lisa,   I always have time for this sort of thing.   You know, Boyd Coddington said it best. “Do what ever you have to do, just make sure the thing is ready for spring.   Numbers matching? Who really cares at this point? The fact that you personally blew up the original engine should be a badge of honor.   Perhaps this will be sufficient catalyst for a new beginning. How about you and Lisa begin with the back seat? The girls have flown the coop, there’s nobody around….   In the mean time, there’s not a single part on that old Chevelle which can’t be had from several different different suppliers and you have a new friend now who can help you through the rough spots.   What’s the problem? Now. Get going!   Thanks for watching Dream Car Garage and especially for taking the time to write.   Best regards,   Tom Hnatiw Dream Car Garage     -----Original Message----- From: Johnnie Lawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2003 6:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cheaptrick   Like many others you hear about every day...Our Chevelle languishes in the garage...with a stuck Carb Float...a underinflated tire....and the Interior at the Upholsterer.....it's  Non-Numbers Matching ' 72  Chevelle SS (With the abuse that I have placed on this car it WAS a numbers matching coupe....but, Hey that's another story!)   Lisa and I have been married for 24 years, and I have had the Chevelle for a total of 26.   I've known each and every Woman that has been in the Back Seat, Personally or otherwise as this car was my Brother's Best Friends Graduation Present from High School in 1972.   Our Girls have all flown from the nest and we are so busy trying to take care of immediate needs, that we cannot see the "Trees from the Weeds"   Guessing that you might be asking what the point might be by now?   Just a little line of motivation...encouragement and knowing that time is something you dont really have...a kind word and a boot to get out into the garage and get something done on this car before it Rots away right in front of our eyes.....   Needless to say, We watch each and every episode.......and treasure the entertainment we get from the experience!   Johnnie & Lisa Lawson ' 72 Chevelle SS "Cheaptrick" Team Chevelle 0145
