WarrenJ Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 DONE! There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenJ Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks for the kind words. YES, generally I like it. Black, however, is not my favorite color. Remember, I bought this Eldorado on the quick after Baby enjoyed her Viking Funeral. I'm trying to make this one perfect simply for my own enjoyment. Once the passenger side pipes are elevated to the same height as the driver's side I'll be done. Yes, I'm anal. In a few months, or a season or two, I'll be looking for a newer Eldorado that is more to my taste (NOT black!). For now, however, the budget doesn't allow for my dreams.

ted tcb Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Very, very nice .... no one's gonna mess with your "mafioso" ride! Funny thing about your comments on not liking a black car. I told my wife tonight that my next used Caddy will be black on black ... after 2 reds and 1 pearl white, my goal is to work my way through the colour chart ... black is my next choice. 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedog Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Warren, maybe I didn't know the trick, but I messed around with my tail pipes the entire two years I had that car, and could never get them right.
