Quote:I am really starting to get spooked, based on what I am hearing about price hikes for natural gas for this coming winter. I normally buy and use between a half and a full cord of firewood in our wood burning fireplace during a typical winter. I need top get on the stick and order up at least one cord, and maybe more, seasoned dry oak for this winter. Marshall
I hope wood doesn’t start rising likeeverything else. It looks like cord is going for about $200 right now, and a face cord for about $90. It is definitely up from last year. I hate to think of getting ripped off by these utilities.
There are a number of areas in the city I go out of my way to avoid. The whole West Towne area is an example. I try to make any big purchases outside of Madison in smaller mom and pop stores. It may cost more but I would rather give them the business.

There was one called Can’t Drive 55 near Russell Marina in Westport. He was there for about a year also. Its a hard business to make a go of it, especially in a climate where you are lucky to use them 6 months of the year. Was the one in Waunakee called Waunakee Motors? I stopped there a couple of times to see what they had. There are a couple of dealers around Milwaukee who have been in business a while. Valenti Classics is one and there is a newer one called Colin’s Classic Automobiles. The websites are

Quote:Actually, I would disagree, at least on the Shelby’s. If they do check out, I would submit that both are bargains. Also, that 66 convertible (driver quality, 20 footer) is also priced right. However, I would agree that the fastback project car is way overpriced. I have been back a couple of times to look at that 66 convertible. Barrett Jackson auctions have driven up the sale price of Shelby’s the past couple of years, whereas 65K is bargain basement/entry level money for a shelby mustang, especially a 67 or 68. I can’t comment on the MOPAR price, I simply don’t know about these cars.Marshall
The Mopar with a 383 4 speed seems like a good price, if for nothing else the fun factor. I am going to take a ride out there in the next couple of weeks to get a closer look at the cars.
The hurricanes have shown how vulnerable people in this country really are. Its good to see Texas was spared alot of the devastation. I don’t think the companies have the excuses to raise gas prices as much as they did for the earlier storm. I think they have a fear of being labeled as price gougers also.

Quote:$1000 and under???? Boy, I didn’t see anything of any quality at that price range. I did see a couple of bargain basement Shelby’s though icon_cheesygrin.gifBoth Shelbv’s were older restrorations, (but still show car quality), but when in the last five years of so, have you seen a red, 67 Shelby GT350, in the 65K price range??? I can only dream about a car like this, but still, both seemed to have “I need to sell these today” prices.

Did you go to Jefferson today?
