Turn off the nav system, crumple up that MapQuest printout, and let's find out where the next random turn may take us!

May 17, 2008 - Ask Dub Schwartz!

Dear Dub,
I've always wanted a classic sports car and now a friend of mine is offering me an MG at a great price. Am I lucky or what?
Douglas Corrigan


At times like this I'm reminded of one of the sonnets from the Bard of Bay Two. I think it's approriate reading for you.
 


The heart doth pine at times for cars gone by
Yet wiser men than I have gone astray
and started shov'ling money out the door
Perchance, that it might somehow run someday
'tis a bargain and a classic verily
that once complete and tenderly restored
shall turn heads as down the blacktop cruising
the fruits of labor's love lives yet again
But soft, how now the headlights, windows, brakes?
Who shall the body work, the dual carbs tune?
And once begun, to see it to the end
becomes the end, consuming all, complete
Time and money, money and time, away
To what end, what purpose, following dreams
