Kicking myself.....

WAAAAAYYYYY back in 1993 when I was in the Marine Corps, I was looking around the lemon lot one day and came across a 1979 M880. Didn't know or care much that it was a military truck, just loved the price: $800.00. Bought it but was getting out and couldn't have it shipped home (I was stationed in Hawaii), so I gave it to a buddy. Had some great pics, but they were lost in a car fire in 1994. Wish I had kept it.....

tell me about this lemon lot.. I have seen them on base but never knew what the heck it was.

The "Lemon Lot" is where the people who are stationed at the base advertise their cars that are for sale.

I still remember the one at Fort Campbell. It was right next to the enlisted club.

You can find cars there from people who either just want to sell them b/c they are getting a new car or people who are being transferred and cannot take them with them. I saw a 60's model Camaro convertable for $2,500.00 As a L/Cpl in the Marines, that may as well have been 25k, but ohh the dreams I had....

A friend of mine died back in '75 and his fam offered me his '63 Vette for 2000. I had just bought my first house and was engaged and just started my own masonry business. I was broke. I still think about that car. My future wife was more important, and still is.

If she is still the future wife don't you think you should get married already...lol.

I started my own business 4 years ago and thought it is starting to get finially off the ground I'm still broke...so I understand what your saying.
