[Tempting]

Thirty years ago today I bought my Tempest. I was 18 years old, senior in high school. I paid $1375, my parents thought I was nuts!! It didn't really fit in with the iroc z's and other new cars in the school parking lot, but it was mine!

Remarkably it survived the many poor decisions a young "car guy" makes and stuck with me through college, a bunch of jobs, marriage, kids and so on.

This car has brought me so much enjoyment and a lot of frustration but I wouldn't trade it for anything!! Currently the Tempest is down but not out, for a short while. The new engine is in the works right now and we'll be back very soon!

Thanks goes out to everyone that I have met through the Pontiac world. A lot of great people and great friends have come out of owning this Pontiac. I hope the next thirty years will be just as good and when it's time to hand over the keys to my daughter and son they can enjoy it as much also.

Sorry for babbling on but I just thought I would share this big day. See everyone at the track soon!!
