Well, the new owners finished off the deal today. It's moving 12 hours away from here. I loved having the Camaro. It was absolutely the coolest car I've ever owned. But now, with the new son and my wife working part time and everything, I couldn't justify having it sitting around not being used. So anyway, the new owners seemed really happy with it. And it's nice to be out from under any car payments.

Naw. It's gone. He already bought headers and intake and stuff to put on it. I'll get something else eventually. It's an awesome car (I think), but there are lots of other awesome cars. [Smile]

Another nice '94-96 Impala is on the radar now.

Sorry to hear that Craig... [Frown]

It must be tough to let a car you love go...I can't
imagine how that would feel if I ever had to
let my 68 go.

BTW...what is Revoh?

Well Craig, this marks the closing of a chapter. Certainly the responsibilites of parenthood are paramount in life. We've al seen what lack of good parenting leads to in the activity on the boards lately. [Big Grin]

You are a fine man and will own another awesome car someday soon...one you and your son can enjoy together.


BTW, what's the antenna on your back window? Integrated cell, or you working with Marty?

I think I got a good price, but I think the new guy got a good deal too.

The antenna was for the cell phone stuff. I had a cradle in there for the phone with a speaker and a mike and stuff. It's a pretty good set-up. I had a professional intall it, but I ripped it out myself. [Big Grin]

Thanks, everybody! I'll put up some pictures of my new car whenever I find it. It's kind of fun searching for something. [Smile]
