Well said Paul.

We get dealt things and try to come out better on the other side. Very much like what we do with our old cars.

 

So take that f bomb body of you and turn it into a show vehicle...or at least a healthier vehicle keeping that well earned patina.

 

Good thoughts sent your way.

Just to chime in on this, Paul does have health insurance, but due to the treatment, he will be out of work for a while, and obviously there is a cost associated with that. The GoFundMe is to help him with those costs. The link was already posted, but I'm repeating it below. If you can help, please do. Thanks.

Oh! And I forgot to mention this little gem: I also gained my first hernia ever, about 5 weeks ago. It's now the size of a goose egg and the weirdest damn thing I've ever seen. 

 

It's like having something in your front pocket, even when you're not wearing pants! 

 

It didn't hurt at all for the first week or so..so I didn't sweat it....but now it's damn near killing me. The Drs won't touch it, until all the chemo is done,this summer. Grrrrrr! 

 

I never (in my wildest dreams) thought that someday I'd be shopping for a goddamned truss. :D

Just try to ignore all those TV lawyer commercials about failed hernia "mesh" implants.  Maybe a hernia or two is a prerequisite to Vintage BMW ownership?!?

Is that a goose egg in your pocket, or are you just happy to see...Glad that your spirit is strong, and attitude still intact. And that your Lady is there for you. Anything that you currently need?..within reason..:) We have your back brother.

Paul, 

I can see why everyone is pulling for you. For you to crack jokes between crying spells is awe inspiring. (thanks for making me laugh). Your crying isn't a  "woe is me" issue either, but true appreciation from all your support. That says a lot about you as a man.  

I have a very good feeling, you are going to kick cancer in the ass, and start taking names. 

 

Bless you Paul, your family and your wonderful friends. 

 

Cheers, and keep that thing in your pocket or you might hurt somebody....

Paul, I too am fighting the good fight and please know that you are in my prayers.  So far, thank God, I am the one in a billion but it is the biggest challenge that I have ever faced.  The strength you gain from those who love you will be the best medicine you can have.  The other best medicine you can have is a little 2002!  Tons of smiles come from these little cars.  When I was diagnosed with terminal cancer last January, the first thing I did was buy a project tii.  Keeps my head in a really good place and gives me purpose.  While there are so many tears with this horrible disease, you will also find that there is so much good in the world.  Just look at your Go Fund Me.  That is a testament to your character and cancer can never take that away or any other important part of you.  Be really positive about it and really strong.  Look forward to living and don't let cancer be a major issue for you.  It's just part of our lives now.  You can do this and win!  Fuck cancer!

^ THIS.

Right here.

Is a hero, folks. 

 

I'm awful at figuring out real names and how they correspond to the FAQ handles... but I hope our paths cross in May at The Vintage, Sir.

Sorry Paul.  My name is Jeffrey Prisco and I live in Wake Forest NC which is thankfully very close to Duke.  I am hoping to get to the Vintage and would love to meet you.  My little car is probably one of the reasons that I am still here.  You see, my first car was a hand me down, 1971 2002 that my dad gave me.  I have had probably 25-30 of them in my life have loved these cars since I was a child.  It is great medicine and the only side effect is a smile!  These cars give more smiles per mile that anything that I know.  Since a 2002 was my first car and I love them so much, I wanted a 2002 to be my last car and leave it to my son who loves them too.  This story of this car is amazing.  I call it my tribute car.  Not in the classic sense but it is a tribute to the best of people and my friends.  I bought the car sight unseen.  My son and a dear friend who is a mechanic went to look at it and picked it up for me.  After a few months, (of course I complained the whole time) they finally shipped it to me but it looked like a different car than the one that I bought.  They still won't tell me what they did or give me a bill but they left enough for me to do and stay busy.  Since this miserable disease has handicapped me physically, they did all the things that they knew I would not be able to do or afford since I am in an experimental treatment program that is extremely expensive and not covered by insurance.  That is just the beginning of the incredible story.  Thank God for my little car and my friends!  Not to mention my wife and son.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
