I recently bought a car that I found has a bit of a reputation here on the old interwebs, it's a beautiful 65 Ford Galaxie body on a 03 Marauder/panther chassis. It runs and drives like a newer car, but has the feel and attitude of an old car. I'm 32 and this year I found out about and am currently going through chemotherapy for grade 3 high risk Astrocytoma brain cancer. The truth is life is just too damn short to drive boring cars. If I live long enough, I'm gonna put 100,000 miles on the Raudxie. Thanks for letting me be part of your group!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181127/c4c8a48551d217e59bbac50c6e094b a0.jpg

Thumbs up! Hope your treatments are a success and you put 200 k+ miles on it. Post up some more pics to refresh us on that car swap

Awesome Car!

Always get multiple opinions. 7 Doctors recommended I undergo a very risky surgery. The 8th Doctor diagnosed and proved it was nothing.:D

I have about 10 doctors probably, went through surgery that I almost died from and now you can hardly see the scar. Somebody has a plan for me, and I'm still kicking, just not as had as I used to.

Hopefully everything goes great and I can make that 200,000 mile mark! Cars are built to be driven and enjoyed and that's my goal!
