minermark Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Enough with the ground transportation, iv had something that flys since i was 10, sometimes it was dads, but still i could log a few hours a month growing up. Just FINELY gave this Cessna up after having many other things to do in NorCal, for years. I waited and stored this way to long, cost me 18K in new windscreen/Tires/maint, annual, fresh new radio(s), to make it "Appealing" for sale.....Dam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Now i had the cessna since i moved to NorCal 20+ years ago, stored in hayward (Three hour bay area traffic) that was one reason for just not getting up for a day. Knowing for a few years i should let it go, dont know why i waited so long, then i heard a rumor around sportys pilot shop there was a guy on the west coast testing a new composit based, Rotax powered, folding wing, Amfib ! Well after finding this guy some years back, his plan was full production by 2016 and that is still on. Deposits were already being taken, and that was years ago, so i made one, then more every chance i got, selling off the cessna paid it off, my delivery is 2017 if all goes well. In retirement, this is perfect. Im NOT by any means "Well To Do" i worked 50+ hr weeks just like all you guys, asset rich,cash poor. If i sell something my bookeeper tells me what to do with the cash, so as not to pay too much tax. https://youtu.be/uz7nlgAjcvM Edited July 20, 2015 by minermark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Kinda sorta mine, just not official yet, I'm in line to inherit it. 1929 Model A Ford. My grandfather bought it for $50 to transport potatoes. They would dig them up out of the ground and let them sit there, then put the top back on this and let it idle with no driver through the field, while people on both sides would throw potatoes in it. When full they would drive it to a barn where they would coat it with something white, maybe lime, and put them inside which would preserve them through the winter. He later restored it. If you are a movie fan, you can see it in "A League Of Their Own" with Madonna, Tom Hanks, and Geena Davis. When the ugly girl in the gym hits a home run out of the window, it pans to the parking lot and you can see it there. Also when Geena Davis is being driven to the dance, there is a 12 year old boy driving it, and he basically asks Geena to screw him in the back seat. My uncle was crouched down in the rear floor board ready to jump up if this boy lost control of it. He was supposedly in the crowd behind a fence as an extra as well. They paid him and his buddies $500 a day, each, for many days for the rights to use their cars. They were all members of the Evansville Old Tyme Auto Club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Probably forgot one or two, and can’t remember the year models for some--and this is NOT the order in which they were owned. 1977 Ford F-150 1980 Datsun King Cab 1975 Fiat X19 Honda Civic Suburu 1985 Saab 900 1989 VW Camry 2004 PT Cruiser 1999 Chevy Silverado Dodge Conversion Van 2010 BMW 528 Currently: 2015 Ford Flex Hope your Saab was a manual shift. We had two (86' and 88') with an AT and both of them went south within a year. Apparently the AT's needed a trans oil seal replaced between two fluid chambers of the trans and almost NOBODY got theirs done. Rebuilt trans was worth more than the car at that point. But we LOVED the steering radius. Could do a U-turn inside a refrigerator. Edited July 24, 2015 by Mighty Favog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ICON looks pretty darn cool, and inexpensive to fly....... but at $189k and limited load capacity, I just have to go with that Cessna 182T, especially after getting her all gussied up the way you did. Curious, did the Cessna freshen-up give you a return on investment? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, did the Cessna freshen-up give you a return on investment? Paperwork states 185SP, sold as a 185SP to a guy that has one. I did NOT pay $189K, maybe i was one of the early birds. And i got every option they offered at the time, under contract. The only stipulation i made a clause for was, if they have an engine upgrade by production time, i will pay. Was really hoping for my first turbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought my sisters 02 Acura Legend for my daughter 1st car when she turns 16 this week. I find the Acura to be a very well made and dependable car.
