    Things in your garage that you wish WEREN'T in your garage.

    Things in your garage that you wish WEREN'T in your garage.

    My biggest regret is my 1940 Ford. I do not know why I bought this car. It took me away from the things I really enjoyed. I would like to sell the Ford and try to restart my original hobbies. I have spent about $125K on this car and I would be OK with getting much less.

    Sadly, the Ford plant is long gone. The service station across McKay, facing Kingsway, is also gone. It was the site of the Royal Bank. The bank building is a Sleep Country Mattress store, now.
