Hey guyz, well you probably dont remember me but thats okay. not to many people do. well i dont really have much to say about my life, at least not much i feel comfortable about talking about, but i do need to vent something. Early in 2004 i decided to make a big move. i'm still struggling through it and its been very hard for me. on new years day i almost committed suicide. i'm glad i didn't but things are very very hard for me. i can only hope that things get better. anyway, one of my main reasons for coming back to this website, is that I MISS MY MAVERICK. when i made this move i also made the stupid decision that i needed to "upgrade" from the 74 4dr i had. the 347/c4 combo are finding their way into a 1983 mustang glx vert so at least i kept things in the fomoco family. But recently *i use RTD as local transportation for the past 10 months..GRR* i have really really regreted my decision. I am hoping to purchase another vehicle come june/july at latest but i'm so seriously craving my maverick again. another four door. automatic on the floor. and a v8. it doesn't even have to run that awesome, just be pretty good. Has anybody else made a decision *with cars* that they regret too?? hopefully when the time is right and maybe through you guyz, i can find another 4dr thats a solid buy. I need a car. the bus is horrible. Glad to be back. -Jason
First of all, I am going to get all over you for even thinking suicide. Nothing in this world is so bad that you can't work it out somehow, if you got the ba#*s to try. If I told you everything that went bad in my lifetime, it would take a book as thick as the bible. I have at one time, had to bury five children before they were very old. Heartbreaking as it was, suicide was not an option. Seek some professional help if you can or talk to a pastor on a regular basis, my bet is, they can give you some insight into how to cope with the thousands of diappointments and crisis's you experience. Depression is a serious desease and their are medications etc. to help control it. What if Henry Ford, with all the failures in producing the first automobile, had said, screw it, I can't handle anymore, and then walked out into lake Michigan. Where would the beloved Maverick have evolved etc. Don't want to sound to harsh and mean but life is very short as it is and we all need to make use of every single second. Who know's, maybe you will be the one to build the best darn Maverick in town and also invent something to benefit the world like a cure for cancer. Take a good look at those people who are in those countries ravaged by tsunami's. Children who one minute were playing with their mom's and dad's and then were left alone for the rest of their lives. Never ever give up hope, things will get better, maybe not as soon as expected but it will happen. As Jerry say's "Growing old is not for sissie's" that also applies to life in general. I wish I was closer to you, and we could meet, just to talk cars, racing or anything else you want to do. This board is like family, to all who are on it and we all care about "YOU" Good luck and try to post more messages on your progress with the Mav's and anything else you want to tell us.
Jason, I also remember you. Old Guy has given you some good advise. Welcome back and I hope you find another 4 door. Tomm
Jason, I do indeed remember you. Glad you are back! I have had a pile of crap on me at times in my life. It always changes, I hope it can for you. As for regretting selling cars in the past, YES! There are a few I wish I had never sold. Guess that is why I now have 14 cars and a motorcycle. One of the best decisions I ever made was to keep my Stallion for life. That car and I have been thru alot together in the last 29 years, I hope with the grace of god that I can get another 29 years of having fun with my cars and friends. Dan
Welcome back, I don't know you but welcome back. and glad you decide to stay with us. I learned a new thing about Dave today, and sorry to hear about the kids (never knew about that before) I don't know what I'd do if I lost my lil boy, but I wouldn't commit suicide. And your right, depression is a very bad disease. I took medication for it up until about 7 months ago when I lost my job and had to find a new one. Going w/o it was tough for a while but im coping without it now. Just glad to still be here.
Jason, I know what you are going through wanting a Maverick, I sold mine back in 89, and within the last 3 years I have been wanting one so bad I can taste it. For me, saving the money is the hard part, every time i get some put away, there is always something there to take it away. I just keep thinking of the day I dan drop the cash in someones hand and cruise off in my ride. Welcome back Glen Pics of my long gone baby: http://www.williamsondesign.com/maverick/index.htm
jason, can't say i remember you but i can relate to the despair. i too had a point in time when i wanted to end it all but had some friends wisely talk me out of it. you can overcome the darkness if you are willing to try. first as mentioned get some help from someone who is qualified. if money is an issue alot of churches offer counselling for reduced charge or free. it took me awhile but with time all things look better. my life now is not perfect(whose is?) but i can now deal with anything. God gave me an amazing 2nd try at marriage, my kids are good, i have my cars back and i am still here. keep plugging away. you will make it i to love the 4 dr. i have 2 of them now. mine is dark metallic green with seafoam green stripes and a 350 horse 302(number matching) 71 with air. my wife has a 77 4 dr with air ,a 250 6cyl (big plans for this baby) and is white with a cobalt blue interior. mine is almost finished and hers is just getting started. if you need to live vicariously thru mine until you get back in the groove feel free. i would be happy to send you some pics to keep you inspired. we jasons have to keep it together. B.T.W. did you know the name jason means "healer".
Jason, I remember you. Keep your Chin up. OldGuy all I can say is you have a will of Iron to have gone through all that. I must say my respect for you has tripled. Life can be trying at times but as I read else where, The actions we take during the Bad times are what define us as people. Be strong and seek help medically or spiritually.
Jason, We are a band of brothers here....and you are our brother. We're here for ya man. I'll keep an eyeball out for that 4 door. I've passed up a couple already...but will keep you in mind. D. Ray
LOL, shes a Doll!! And I can say that without it being a sexist remark or being politically incorrect.
