Can't believe I'm calling Victory Auto Wreckers!

[Darthomas]

Wife didn't change oil, and varnished up the engine in the 2004 Hyundai.
Now the cranked is locked up tighter than a (your choice of comparison).
And she talked down about my old cars.
I have seen these commercials my whole life and never dreamed I'd be calling them!

Victory Auto Wreckers - A Look Back:

710 E Green in Bensenville!!!!

sucks about the car though. well, at least now you have ammunition when she talks ca-ca about your old cars!!

Oh for cryin out loud. I haven't lived there in well over a decade, almost 2 now! At least you could've done is post a newer commercial.

 

[MarPar]

no way man! that is the commercial that we all grew up with! it would play like 50 times a day on GN! lol

 

[alsant]

Yeah they got a couple of my cars.

Not to start **** but your married and couldn't you change the oil in your cars? I will never get the younger generation who think a marriage is like some sort of business arraignment.

 

[69a100]

OK you Chi-town Hustlers, I wonder how many of those cars in their lot came from these guys???

 

[alsant]

I think so!

Bye, Hyun

She separated herself about 2 years ago, and was pretending to be a responsible adult. I changed oil and greased when she was at home. I'm the one who fixes everything, given a chance, but if she's too busy playing to worry about being responsible.......
She doesn't care anyway.
She never worked to earn that car.
My father left it to us when he died, so to her it's just another thing to use up and cast aside.

Dart,I'm sorry about your situation.

 

[Darthomas]

Dart,I'm sorry about your situation.

Thank you, I'm doing my best not to feel sorry for myself, and get my Belvedere back on the road this year.
It's ready to roll, and this year I will get Antique plates and ins.
Divorced not quite 2 months.
I needed the cash.
Did keep aftermarket radio, battery, and half a tank of gas before they arrived.
Replaced with original radio and "usable"
battery.

I bypassed all the newer commercial to find exactly that version, the "real" one, the classic version with heavy emphasis on the first word. All the newer ones seem less convincing.

WGN morning show did an interview with the "seller", one of their employees, he was paid 2 regular hours on the clock, it on YouTube, he still the watch and t-shirt.
It's nice enough that someone with time will buy the whole vehicle and swap the motor out. I cannot fathom the idea of becoming so intimate with any foreign car. Let someone who already approves of such goings-on. I gave my dad a hard time when he bought it, as he was in the United Steekworkers of America.
"How could you, dad? What did your friends at the breakfast club say?"
He said, "they've bought them, too".
Where's the single tear emoticon?
No mind, I still have the '66 Belv and '71 Swinger they bought for me.

Btw Thomas, look into getting the "Extended Use Antique Plates." the regular AV plates have a bunch of restrictions on them.

Thanks, I will. Planning a move back to NW Indiana within a month, so I'll need something on the car, and may just get the cheaper one to get by a few weeks.

Gee,
My wife has too much on her plate...
That my friend is MY job, to track all of the cars and their required maintenance
