  • Any tips for Pamona Swap Meet???...taking the altered.

    I'm getting cabin fever and have NEVER been to the Pamona Swap Meet. Planning on leaving the Fiat on my short trailer. Any of you Pomona pros have tips?
    I'm tired of looking at this thing......

                  If you are taking it there to be sell it. I'd say price it to sell and it will sell. If you want every last penny from it, you'll be dragging it home. The fair priced stuff goes quick. The guys who want to get rich, don't sell stuff.

                  Put some gas in it and fire it a few times. You'll get guys surrounding you on it.

                  Remember, Pomona brings in buyers from world wide.

                            16 years ago this pic was taken of my daughter. That's the closest I ever got her to go to a track. She is away in college now doing well, got a four year scholarship. She spent a year in Germany thru school and got to see a lot of Europe through her college. I really don't see much of her any more. She is talking about going back to Europe after she finishes school. They got to grow sometime and have to live their life sooner or later. I would spent all the money in the world to have my daughter interested in racing and being able to spend time doing it with her even if she didn't live at home, and I would invite her boyfriend to come along also. I think your making a big mistake if your selling it out of spite. Enjoy the time you got because before you know it they leave the nest and move on the other side of the world and all you got are pictures to post up on a post board. Her 2nd choice out of school is to take an internship at my work, she finds my work interesting after years of finding it boring. It's her choice but I hoping she picks door number 2 cause I can't help worrying about her.

                              You know if a daughter moves out with a BF, some would say that un-obligates you to pay for a big wedding later when and if the request ever comes. Your call... ;)

                              It's not a "spite" thing, it's just a matter of choices/consequences. Like where if you get good grades in school, somebody might be willing to step up and offer a scholarship to help you continue. If not, then...not.
