DD, LOL Well it goes like this. Give the car to your wife/ girl friend... what ever for a week or two. She will knock most of the crap off of the car driving into things and then you can send it to me to unscrew it up :D . I need a retirement project :eek:

Wow that is a real peach if I ever seen one. Why dont you look for one the has been in a fire, crushed by a semi, some one died in, written off and submarined.. oh and what the heck, nuked too :D . Probly be easier to do :lol: Some people eh!! So do you get the 8 million bucks worth of plastic pride (trophies) with it too? One must have bragging rights to drive such a interesting piece of @#$@$%

I took the time to follow the link to their other site which has pictures of the 80 monstrosity and an 84 which has been 'improved' in the same way. They've got more paint under the car than most cars have on top. Does the world need a Vette with a mural on the spare tire holder??

:U :U :U
