Bad news for me and my 73

Hey guys, im just giving the update on what happened, i finally went to court in late november, they charged me with reckless driving, pinned me with a $500 fine and 6 months probation. as for witnesses, the problem was that there were none... mine and my passengers word vs him and his passangers, they were both in there 70's and my passanger and i are both 19, so they had the cop and there age on there side. As for people saying that the cop said i was racing, i had asked a few of the e.m.t.'s andthey all confermed it, i am not bad-mouthing cops in general, just some can be real D*^*) and judgemental, i beleave what the problem was is that he was losing money wile he was at the scene of this accedent, and he saw my car wich he had seen where he worked at the time a few times, i was working in the same area, i think (not saying for sure) that he wanted me to do somthing wrong so he could get me for somthing, my car bugged alot of people because i had cherry-bombs on it, and i had the stereo set up pretty good and liked to use it. I am now trying to get the money together to get another 71-73, i am buying a 81 firebird to fix up and sell for the money, i paid 500 for this car and beleave i can fix it and sell it for enuf money to get back to the stangs.
On another note i might have a settelment check soon that i can get a good one with, i was in another accedent this time i had many witnesses saying it was NOT my fault. I was in a '03 durango pulling a boat, at a stop light when the light turned green i went, about halfway through the intersection i checked to make sure every one was indeed stoping at that time i saw a dump truck headed right for me, the truck had lost his breaks, slamed into me and pushed me into another car, after about 5 min police were at the scene gathering info on the accedent. the durango was so smashed up that they had to cut me out of it. They airvaced me to the same hospitle as before, and did x-rays, and a catscan of my ribs, nothing was broken and i was able to walk out of the hospitle that night.

I may be a trouble magnet, but i get out lucky, between the last 2 accedents ive been in i should be dead, and ive been able to walk away from both of them, the first took a cupple days but i was still able to walk...the firebird project is coming along nicely, today we were able to gut the intirior out of it, i would have been able to do more but at the place im at right now theres a shortage of tools and my back just cant handle alot right now. I accually plan on doing this car(81 Firebird Espirit) right, in the next coupple days were gonna be taking whats left of the engine out and re-doing the bay, im gonna go through the wireing and make sure none of its bad, there isnt much rust on this car so i wont have many problems from that. Its been a dry desert car all its life so that helps out alot. the body is really straight and i havent found any bondo on it yet (just been tapping to find it) other than on the hood but the hood is from a diff car, but the pain is shot (sun fade) so im gonna have my work cut out for me.

I just hope that by the time i get the money ill still be able to find a decent 71-73 for a lower price, all my friends are telling me to get a 60's but i like the 70's because it was my first car.
