A thread on backdating a '75/'76 to earlier 2.0 Exhaust has pushed me over the edge and I must confess.....

A year and 1/2 ago I moved from Bay Area to San Diego. In the 3 months of getting the house ready to sell, and getting the 914 into a roller, overwhelming anxiety got more and more intense... I wasn't gonna meet the "deadline". I started throwing things into the back of the pickup. Yes, I got into one of those rash-decision-making furies and started chucking good stuff...

I lost faith, and decided in an instance to simply get the '76 reassembled, smogged and sold, so .......I......I......I......


I chucked the complete and perfectly good '74 2.0 exhaust system that another board member GAVE me!!!...[i] (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) ....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I feel really stupid now... I even watched as the loader at the dumpstation scooped up the exhaust and all the other crap I'd emptied from the pickup and dropped it into the "sort" pile.. one step away from the landfill.


OOOOOOOOOHHHH I feel so dirty....(where is the "rape shower" emoticon?) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ...


I feel aweful... it's all coming back so vividly.....

Be kind....

So, here's an opportunity to sit in a circle and admit your sins. This is the first and most difficult step.
