Senior's moment

I hope this is not a trend. I have owned my 66 Corvair since 1982. It has languished off the road for at least ten years. A couple of times I have got the momentum going for resurrection. Most recently I made a small list of stuff I needed to get the ball rolling. Ordered it from Clarke's Corvair parts of Shelburne Falls Mass, which is like W&N on steroids. They have it all under one roof. The stuff arrived about a month ago and slowly I have made a couple of steps. today, looking through a storage bin in the vast trunk of my Corvair (up front) I pulled out a box of unknown origin. In it were the exact same parts I just ordered and some additional items. I now have 6 carb rebuild kits. Enough to carry me through till 2035.
Anyone else have these moments? I hope I didn't file two income tax returns.

Don't feel bad, I've discovered duplicate coupe parts that I had purchased before and never got around to installing, fortunately nothing high dollar - yet...

At least I am not alone Steve. On the bright side I found out that I can insure it for an additional $36 Cdn per year with a million liability!! I need ten more.

Been there, done that! More than once.

:roll:

I'm not alone. I love this place.

CRS disease

You brought genuine out-loud laughter, where there hasn't been much today! I too have CRS disease...Got a note from a guy today trying to work a feasible deal for shipping a bmw 2002 dash to me?..That was three week old correspondence, I had slept many times since I had made the offer to buy and since given up, and of course, forgotten about it...Getting old is not for the faint of heart...

On a side note, you have me looking at Forester XT's for my dog's next ride...hard to find a tan interior (I'm in the south...) car.

I thought buying duplicate parts years apart was a requirement for membership on this site.

Didn't you already write a similar post 6 weeks ago?

On the other hand, if you just realized you had two coupes... that wouldn't be so bad, would it?

I think they are all pretty similar, yes you nailed it.

@Dave, make sure your dog goes on the test drive and approves. Pretty sure my dog prefers the E46 wagon for dog ergonomics....plus the window goes down all the way.

Oh crap, that reminds me- I haven't fed my dog months! maybe I'll have to get another.
