The Want It But Can't Have it Thread

[Brian Lohnes]

Here's the place for the stuff you leer at and drool over but can't afford/fit/sell your better half on.

I'll start. I have been torturing myself looking at this crazy clean old Mack for days. The guy wants big money for it, but the truck looks to be totally minto.

For a 53 year old working truck, this is a pretty amazing piece.

(Yeah, I know that I'm weird, but you have to admit that this thing is more interesting than a first gen Camaro! )

It should be in my signature or on my headstone that I'd like a Ferarri F-40 someday. Existing next to that, in a world of more likely reality, would be an approx. 1950 Studebaker Moving Van which sat in a lot about a mile from here for years...when I made the decision to go after it the thing was almost handed to me and then disappeared along with the owner. What an utterly bitchin' vehicle. How Brian feels about tow trucks, I feel about moving vans, especially if you can still read the signage on the side. Dang, it's like once the guy realized he had something that someone else wanted, suddenly it became precious to him and they both vaporized. Oh well...hope he still has it then.

I have a couple other want-it-but-can't-have-its, which are cars from the past that I once sold. Oh well, no one but myself to blame for that, and that is why I rarely sell anything anymore.

Moving vans....what a WEIRDO!

[Barry Donovan]

mine is too simple to narrow down.

I then go for things that do not exist.



like this rig with a 3508 cat perhaps.

34 liters of non existence. maybe destroke to twenty something...be a realist.

Hmm, I might truck on down to the River City Wesleyan Church and pray about it...or ask 'em if they'd like to connect you up with the owner of that rig next door. Oh Lord, help a bro!

The thing could even pay for itself.

It'd be a lot cooler storage unit than a sea-train...
