Wasn't his first but was his favorite. He bought his brand-new (the color was gunmetal gray) and put a surfboard rack on top and had to install air-shocks in order to tow a boat. He loved that car more than any other. His ex eventually nagged him into trading it in on something more "suitable" for the family. :/ To this day, he has the occasional dream about finding it under an old tarp in the backyard where he had forgotten all about it -- and it drives just like new and he's always very happy he found it again. Poor guy.

It was a 4 hr drive home and it blew the engine about 1/2 way home. He got the engine rebuilt and although it wasn't the sexiest or most powerful car it got me around for a couple years and some small adventures. It eventually died on me at the top of the Buckman bridge (the old 2 lane span) and I managed to coast it about an mile and got it off the bridge.Bugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255654.post-26719030464707696932011-10-14T12:15:05.187-04:002011-10-14T12:15:05.187-04:00TBG - This had me cracking up...."would shak...TBG - This had me cracking up...."would shake like a dog trying to pass a peach pit"....<br /><br />cause as soon as I read it I got this visual of my dog standing there, shaking in nervous anticipation while breaking out in a cold sweat...because even though dogs dont sweat - i think that would push them over the edge to do so...
