Hope Springs Eternal

I've been slow to push forward with Buick repairs, but I do have an upholstery appointment scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. The guy I spoke to could picture the car and compared it to an Eldorado convertible of the same era that he'd done a few years ago. That's a good sign.

Another good sign is that a Carolina-blue clone of the Riv has just gone up for sale on Autotrader in another northern Atlanta suburb...its asking price is $12,500. I'm not at all sure it'll pull that, but it's nice to know that someone else thinks it's worth that much, especially this year...one big difference: the blue one (shown below) has about one-third the miles.
