Sits in wifes cousins garage, in the past two months I've only seen it once. I miss driving it, I can't get the winter beater past 90mph!! I've decided as of yesterday I'm addicted to speed. Ibought the Z a year and a half ago and I keep dreaming of what to do to it next. I just bought AS&M headers, and I was looking at them and i realized I paid as much for them as my winter car!! I haven't washed the bomb since I started driving it, but I told my wife to be careful if she had to move the box the headers are in! I know some of you have tons on money into your cars, but do you ever sit back and ask yourself if you need serious professional help? My wife was happy when I bought the headers because she got sick of me talking about it, she seems to think thats it. Little does she know Sorry I got off track.

I drive mine. I almost kinda wished I got off my high horse and got a winter beater. Too late now. Maybe next year. But this winter is killer on my car as well. Even tho I drive her a few days after it snows (have hubby's truck). Hopefully I can get her in the body shop to fix the scrapper accident I had. Ouch. I say hopefully cause our 69 RS/SS is in the body shop now for full resto. That's gonna take some $$$$.
