i agree. the bonne is pretty comfortable though and will be nice to cruise with in the summer with the top down. ---

naw not really. i dont like driving these cars, i dont feel comfortable in them and they aren’t fun to drive imo. it’s more of a chore. the MC is pretty cool to drive only because it sounds sweet, but i only took it out once or twice on my own last year and that was enough for me. if the camaro isn’t running i’d rather drive my truck, generally speaking ---

(stripped it, cleaned it and resprayed it, and painted on the silver rings around the gauges with model car paint. looks REAL nice now. a lot of other maintenance was done to the car too, lol, but that’s not too exciting. at least it will be ready to rock in spring Very Nice, that color is great on that car:) ---

In your first post you said your Dad was “old school” I think I went to that school with him. Old, that is! One of my best friends had one back in my high school days with a 454, 4:11 gears, posi, headers, etc, That was my first taste of a muscle car. That thing would burn out from street light to street light. We didnt really know what quick was back then, but god we had fun with that car. ---
