Dep, I do have to admit, that was the case with the M-20 tranny. NO LIE !!! Well sometimes I'd have to have 22-23 on hand, but 20 is pretty accurate.

But since then, I have "seen da light" (even the win light on occasion

). Automatic transmission that is. It's almost 4 years since anything has br****. Don't want to say it and jinx myself.

So meeester, you moving to Me-HE-ko??!!!

Since the temperatures that day were ONLY in the low-50's, with 20+ MPH winds, I'm kinda surprised the driver wasn't sitting in the car, letting it idle.....

Glen: Think I'd LIKE using that car as a foot warmer on chilly afternoons.
And considering it probably isn't occupied for more than a few seconds,
I think the heat would be offset by the 1/4 mile times. Yep...I'll take that hotfoot ANY day

The old GT40 was a sexy car, the new Ford GT is still a sexy car...

I wouldn't mind owning either one.

And as for Novas, you know that they were the most unpopular car down in Mexico and never sold?

Guess someone should have told GM that "No Va" in Spanish means "No Go".
