Say, stupid me, you are right, I forgot: it was a '71 Boss 351, firemist blue with silver stripes. Was an ok car for a Ford. I only wish that it was a Boss 302 or Boss 429. thanks for the correction.

Gosh, I'm kind of a loser, I guess. Here's my list (for real):

-87 GN
-79 Olds '98' (got for two hundred bucks from some kid to drive for 2 months while GN was in the shop)
-87 GN
-97 Regal (to drive on days when GN isn't working right)


That's it. My first car was an 87 GN and my last car will be an 87 GN.
