I did. It’s been up and running for a few weeks. Took the kids for a nice, long cruise today. There’s so much power that I don’t dare use it all.

I’d think that $22,500 was strong money for an 18 year old Pontiac.

Yeah, those Hideous double windshield wipers tell me the car was on the road in the mid-late ‘80s/ early ‘90s. My big complaint is that they are still there in his “cleaned up and on the road” pics.
