AgeofDarkness, no need to be ashamed, you should feel fortunate to be able to get into this hobby at an age that most of us were still dreaming and lusting over O.D. vehicles... i lost out on my first chance to buy an M.V. at your age. it was an old M37, and was what i had wanted since i first saw one on tv as a kid. but that one got sold out from under me do to the owners son repeatedly forgetting to tell his dad i wanted the truck... im 34, and only mildly educated on the subject of M.V.s, but its been a lifelong obsession that i just was able to fufill a little under a year ago... but when you hit 34, the knowledge and experience you have around these trucks will be irreplaceable... and remember, M.V.s are like potatoe chips... you cant have just one !!
