RANT!!! lets talk giving thanks

[nickyb]

I have been jealous of my fellow stangers who have lifts, who can afford to trade in the Wifes car for a new one ,who have new dailies to drive and who can just play with there stangs.
But thinking of how blessed i am that i can drive my stang everyday,i can fix her on my days off and get to work without renting a car .(doing so since i bought her in 07).
My Wifes 03 taurus with 177k miles was her dads last car that she got when he passed in 08. I,ve been blessed too with this car she is so attached to.I am able to fix this car she daily drives. Both cars pass smog inspections every year, both have a/c and heat ,both get us to work and back.
We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Just don't ever forget to give thanks, i know i won't.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.

Being able to always keep them running is certainly something to give thanks for!

Giving thanks that I'm alive..Checking obits from time to time reminds me that 59 is getting up there. Glad to have three cars for myself.

I remember an old friend use to tell me, “Don’t major on the minors.” I’ve tried my whole life to live up to that. Love my family, life, cars, etc. Am thankful for them and for an informed group of folks who help me along the way.

I'm thankful for the life I've lived, the lessons I've learned, the ability to keep improving, and everyone around me that accepts me just the way I am.

I learned a long time ago that no matter how much you have, how much you earn, how fast your car is, there is always someone with more, someone faster. Be content with what you have. "Things" do not bring happiness. They usually bring worries and stress.

But never stop striving for more.
You can always find a little more room in the garage

The older you get the simple things in life are best.....

True story.
I am always pleased if I can outrun a car that has a lot more $ spent on it.
If you don't love what you are doing, then $ will not "fix" anything.

I would love my Mustang more if I drove it more. There is something to be thankful for in your life.

Pretty happy, these days. Thankful for being past what seems like it was the hardest parts and still having my health and career.

Thankful for having a great hobby and a community who shares it.

Everyday is a gift. Don't ever take it for granted, because tomorrow is not a guarantee. The older you get the clearer this seems to become. Be thankful for what you have, your family, good friends, your health, your ability to get up every day and go to work to provide for the people you love. Even though it's a stressful grind at times, there is someone who would kill to be in your shoes. A bigger house, a new car, all the money in the world. It doesn't mean if you don't have someone at home to share it with, or your health with which to enjoy. Don't want for material things, they are great, granted. But want for the things that matter.

Happy Thanksgiving guys. Hope everyone had a great holiday.
