Welcome The man with the cool car to FCBO!

Welcome. Did not home school my kids. Specifically wanted them to attend public school and deal with a broad spectrum of different people. I think that's an important social growth experience. However, you are their father, and I respect the right of parents to make choices for their children. Also, I respect you for hanging in there after your wife left.

On the comradery side: I own a Fury convertible. Love em. Great car choice. Will be cool to see pics. I guess your phone must not have a camera.

Hi, Thank you for the warm welcome. I started my children in the public school system but found that system horribly lacking in the ability to give a meaningful education. The only phone I have is a landline, without a camera. I try to get my children as socially engaged as possible... outside of public School. Thank you for respecting the choices I have made.

That old 69 fury 4 door was a great first car, I arrived home, safe every time. 318 cubic inches of raw reliable,as long as I kept the oil changed, points set properly,replaced all the leaking seals,hoses,belts. The car kept me safe in other ways too, I often found myself being the designated driver, having a dozen friends loaded into her ample hold, with gas and repairs she kept me sober(no money for foolery). She was a fine 44,000 mile original car, but not a 70 440 six bbl Cuda convertible (the car I really wanted at the time). After many years we parted ways, she is fondly remembered for the experiences I received while we took care of one another...
Midlife I found myself raising 2 sons, without a wife or other help, other than God. God is awesome!!! I am able to homeschool my children as a full time self employed dad.
Currently I am the custodian/owner of a Bahama blue 1969 Sport Fury 440HP convertible in original very thin paint. Currently trying to get this fine lady(the fury) ready to experience more life, she has a very healthy heart and a strong constitution. Being produced as a Show car/girl found her cherished and kept rot free, although she has been bruised and mildly scarred, and missing some of her jewelry I am thankful for the time I get to spend with her. To me she is beautiful!
I have been observing this website and decided to join.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Ps: my firstborn son is a Dodge, or at least his name is.

Full disclosure here,, the. Fury is NOT Bahama blue... it is and shall remain B7 Jamaica Blue. With the frosty weather here in Alberta, I must have had the Bahamas on my mind, my apologies to the purists, for such a significant error in C-body reporting. While I am here I shall share another fact. When I was 12 years old, I answered an add for a baetavus bingo moped for the princely sum of $50. My dad took me just East of Gibbons Alberta to purchase the not-so powerful almost motorcycle, and residing in the same shelter as the moped was a red 1969 sport fury convertible. Love at first sight, for a car, that car was the impetus for purchasing the previously mentioned 4 door, I wonder what became of that red convertible.

I called yesterday and was told pics were coming of a white 68. Received a message from what sounded like a call centre today, asking what I thought of the pics, sent another note to the vender stating pics have not arrived. I am curious
