Default Greetings from Long Island!
Proper pronunciation "Lawn-Guy-Land". Lol!
Always been a car guy.... Chevys for the must part, but I have dabbled in the black arts of Fords and Mopars as well. Just got my first Corvette to add to my collection ('64 Falcon and '68 Barracuda). It's a 1985 Base with the Doug Nash 4+3. Probably another poor financial decision on my part, but it keeps me out of the bar! Because I can't leave anything alone, I'm already looking for parts to start modding. Any new thread would be useless without pictures, so here are a few for ya!

Ha! Yeah, that's actually what drew me to it. I've never seen that color top and bottom before. Did a bit of research and found that only 1,021 were done in that color in '85. Fun fact!
