From the “got away” files, comes this gem:

At my grandparents’ (Mom’s parents) 60th wedding anniversary (early 2001) celebration, a high school friend of Gram’s showed up in the 1979 Monte Carlo you see above.  At the time, my interest was piqued, mostly because I love this color.  I told her if she ever wanted to sell it, let me know.  ~3 years later, after Gram had died October 2002 & I bought another car in mid 2003, I received a letter I never thought I’d receive … Gram’s HS friend was ready to sell the car.  Dad & I drove to her home on a Saturday & looked at it.  Regrettably, I did not buy it because I could not justify the expense, & it needed a couple repairs I couldn’t afford (heater core being the main culprit).  ~1 week after we went to see it, she called me to let me know a family member decided to buy it.  Wonderful!  After she died a few months later, however, I received another call … this time, from that family member, telling me he didn’t want it & never really did.  It had been sitting ever since he bought it.  I decided to buy it from him, but then was told he sold it to someone else.  I’ve no idea where this car is today, or if it is even still “alive”.
