How bro-mantic.


I would not be tossing out those breauxmatic innuendos if I were you.  Sylvan does not like competition. :supz:

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Mine was a 197x Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. Pretty cool little car. 4 wheel disc, factory headers, 2x Weber side draft, DOHC. Bitch popped clutch cables like they were going out of style (which they were), then the synchros went out in the tranny. Oh well.

Chop to top, and put a Buick TR motor in it. :smt033

My first car was a hand-me-down from my mom.  It had tinted windows and was a Maroon G-Body, but that was as cool as it got.

1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham
260 CI V-8..........DIESEL! :mad:
90 hp

It was a total dog but looked pretty good.  I ended up totaling it out by failing to yield the right of way to a half-ton pickup truck, during a left hand turn.

My next car was much better as it was a Gold 1978 Trans AM with the "good" 220HP Pontiac motor.   I had that car for 4 years until I traded it and some cash for my 1986 T-Type which I still own today.

If I didn't get my GN, I was looking at a 1971 Charger 440 (NOT the Dukes of Hazzard body) and a late 70's Firebird, 6.6 with the shaker hood.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.
