Newlyweds, not alot of cash lying around. My 1972 LeMans Sport laid an egg . (Motor gave up) So we buy a used "Vette". We thought it would be temporary at best. We moved the stereo sytem out of the Pontiac into the Chevette, good move. Two years later, (BTW did I mention that this rig was just temporary? And that I have done everything in my power to rid myself of this useless pile of crap, up to and including never, ever servicing the car). Anyway, we are going to a place in downtown Baltimore called HammerJacks to see OZZY . At the time HJ's was the place to be. Great show, OZZY is nuts. We come out of the club walk over to where we parked, or where we thought we parked , no car. I look around some more, still no car. Someone actually stole the piece of scat . I am sure there were other cars in that parking lot, why steal the only Chevette in a 5 mile radius? Then I figure it out , the stereo system, damn .
A couple of days later the police find the rig, totaled, trashed, and of course no stereo system. The insurance company gives me way too much for the car and we end up with a new Toyota 4x4 pick-up. The moral or the story... sometimes an old lump of coal can turn into a diamond!
