I'm Cursed

Well, my silver 86 was borrowed my my evil ex and she turns around and trades it in at a dealership for $500!! (that was 3 years ago, and I'm still searching for it)

Today my son calls me all sad to tell me that the black 87 Tbird I built for him got impounded over a month ago (he doesnt live with me) and today he needed my help to go pick it up from the police impound. WAIT!! It gets worse!! We get there and the car had just been sold at the friggin auction!! I'm so bummed out right now I could cry. THIS JUST SUCKS!!!

Yes! Its the black one that I wanted in the banner section! At least I will see it in the banner section. Its will probably be stripped for someones dune buggy:punchballs:

your going to have to explain in a little detail about the silver one and how it was traded in. like whos name it was in or why someone would loan "anything" to an ex :P

when my tbird got impounded i went to the auction and bought it back as it was cheaper than paying the fines on it :hick:

If only your name was on the title, and she didn't have a valid bill-of-sale...that makes her guilty of 2 or 3 crimes right off.

Ex's are ex's for a reason....NO way in flaming blue hell would I let any of my ex's ever drive ANY of my vehicles. ;)

Yep, thats the car!! Oh well, he will just have to look back on what he did as he now has to get a car himself.


As for my ex. We were going through a bitter divorce and she had no car to drive, so following my lawyers advice I let her use the 86 since it was both in our names. One day she pulled up in a Taurus and I asked her where the car was, and she said it was parked at her brother because it wasnt running well, and she was borrowing her brothers car. My daughter later that evening told me her mother traded it in at a dealership for the Taurus. The dealer had every right to take it in trade because it was listed as "Or" on the title. He got my $5000 in performance parts TC for $500. I went to buy it back, but it already was gone to the auction. Every year for the last 3 years I run a registration search in hopes I can find it. Thats why this year I treated myself to a new 86 TC.

First of he didnt tell me it was impounded because his license got suspended and his car was SUPPOSED to be parked in his mother garage. His mother didnt want to tell me because I would have given her a rash of sh*t for not hiding the keys.

His loss someone elses gain. I hope a good turboforder gets her. If you guys see it on craigslist or something please contact me or buy it for yourself. There was a lot of love put into that car.

as for letting an ex borrow anything... I guess we are crazy too.
We would let my husband's ex (or my ex-wife-in-law, as I call her) to borrow our vehicles any time, she would do the same.
However, we have a decent relationship with her and are friends. It's taken a long time to get to that point. If we didn't have a good relationship with her there's no way on earth I'd let her borrow a vehicle.
Being an ex for a reason is true... however, it's not always that cut and dry. Sometimes it's because both parties were young and dumb but have since grown up. We have found it's best not to hold grudges and life is much eaier when you can be friends.....especially when there are kids involved.
