Not New, but New Owner -- Finally!

I've been a member on here for a few years now, but just became a fourth-gen owner for the first time, after looking and waiting patiently (and doing heavy research) for more than four years. I had found an excellent, one-owner, very-rare colored 1995 Firebird Formula convertible way back then but passed on it, and it haunted me for years, but I just found an identical car less then five miles from the first one ---- life is very strange indeed...

It is also a one-owner car, in excellent condition, with even lower mileage (80,000), in the rare Medium Dark Purple Metallic, and was available for an absolutely bargain price --- in fact, if I told you the strange saga of how the car ended up going from the $8200 the owner originally was asking, to the ridiculous price that I paid for it, you wouldn't believe it....

Anyway, not wanting to brag --- am just thrilled to finally get one of these cars, and also want to encourage everyone here to know that, if you have a very-specific want, keep the faith and have patience, because miracles do come true!

And... I really do finally feel like a real (Firebird-owning) Z/28.com member!

Thanks guys... no pic yet ------ it's been raining for a week and I had to drive the car up from San Diego through cars spinning out, past four accidents, including a car on its roof (not a drive you want to be your first with a new convertible...). I'll post soon... can I post on this thread, or is there a pics section, and will I need to link to a host?

You bet they did... I worked on the ASWOC Command Center on BNAS in the late 1980s.
