As much as it hated to sell this car as soon as it was done, My life has changed. I used to live 5 minutes from the warehouse. I now live a half hour away. Things just weren't working out for me. To switch a car out to drive it for a while it took me an hour and a half. Plus the 1000 plus I had to shell out each month for rent was a big factor. I feel liberated. I'm down to one car and that is my favorite. The Cutlass. The car runs so well and worry free it feels new. I took it to the NHRA races this weekend in Joliet and it didn't miss a beat. Ran 180 on the highway and also in bumper to bumper traffic. I really love this car. Clean and dependable. What more can you ask for?

You know it's a shame. and I don't use that word lightly. I had a beautiful Toronado that was in a shop for nearly 3 years. When I bought this car I was super excited. After 3 years I lost my fever. I sold the damn thing as soon as it was done. BY ME! I had to flatbed the damn thing out of that shop and finish it myself. I guess I'm just bellyaching. But it just pisses me off that a shop made me lose enthusiasm for this car. Anyone have the same experience? Here's a pic of it done. What a great car! I drove it all of a hundred miles. Doh!
