I'd like to introduce my buddy Joe Haddad to you. I've know Joe for over 25 years. We started out boating together and always had a lot of comon interest.
Joe is an exellent mechanic, and during the 70's worked for a GM dealership.
Six years ago, I stopped by Joe's Service station to say hi.
He said "you gotta come see this" in a very excited voice. We jumped in his car and he kept telling me how he always wanted one of these motorhomes, and he finally got one. Said he wanted one since the day they came out. He was taking me where he was doing "some work" on it.
We pulled up and we walked over to this thing that hardly resembled a motorhome, or at least it didn't look like any motorhome I had ever seen. It was pea green, faded and dirty. Upon opening the door, the pea green continued with some darker greens and avacado colors. I felt as if I had stepped back in time to the 70's, when those greens were actually popular. It reminded me when I was younger and our entire kitchen turned avacado green.
Now one thing about Joe, is he's an all original guy. His coach is 100% original. It goes with his 1970 olds cutlass supreme convertable and his 1977 glastron jet boat. All original, all the time.
For some reason, I could not share Joe's enthusiasm. I didn't understand. I didn't understand why anyone would be excited about some funky looking, run-down faded motorhome.
Little did I know...
