@@Americanrodshop I remember the owner did his best to make me feel everything was fine . He was with me looking at some wood he wanted to haul next and I was backing up he said hey don't you worry about it if you hit a tree cut it down then you wont hit is again. Well he went on a vacation for 2 weeks and I was working the yard and I backed up in to a large tree so I cut the thing down. When he came back from Vacation he wanted to see how I did while he was away. He was driving this time and when he went to back up he noticed a tree missing he said hey what happen to the tree I said well you said if I hit it cut it down. He said how could you have hit a tree that big . I said I was not paying attention . I didn't know the tree had meaning to him but from what he said was his Grand Father planted the tree when his Dad was born. No I didn't get fired but I sure thought I would have that day.

I learned to drive on my grandpa's 1952 Ford Tractor. I live in Northwest Arizona (Bullhead City/Mohave Valley/Lake Havasu area) and yes cars may be slightly "More expensive" out here but there's a reason for it, we don't have bad winters out here which means not much more than surface rust to deal with so your getting a solid car to start out with. When I first moved out here 2 years I was looking for a classic to drive becauee p.o.s. 2004 Hyndai Santa fe that I bought to drive out here cracked the radiator and blew the head gasket so I junked it but pulled the bucket seats and center console. I found a 73 Buick Regal for $1300 and after putting a battery in it airing up the tires and stopping by a car wash I drove it almost 50 miles home. The next day I went out to actually inspect it and it was in alot better shape than I thought it was. Yes it needed a really good clean up and it certainly needed a paint job but the car itself was in pretty good shape I basically fixed what needed fixing, pulled the front bench seat and put the buckets and center console out the Santa Fe in it and have daily driven it since.
