My wife and I just picked up a new Subaru Forester today to replace the '99 Olds Aurora. It's actually a very nice car if you can get past the granola looks. But the down side is that I now own my very first 4 cylinder engine with a whopping 175 Hp. Down from 260Hp V8 of the Aurora.
My first car where the primary objective is going from point A to point B. I wish I could finish the Firebird.  |

hehe. well, i'm sure you could finish the firebird if that is what you wanted to do Jon.
I picked up a Honda Accord 4 cyl last year. It's not sexy but that point A to point B thing with no hassles is pretty good.
Cheers,

True. And true.
You speak with wisdom beyond your years. At least I assume that's the case.  |

| The ultimate sleeper would be to put 3 or 4 thousand dollars into my Powerstroke Ford pickup. Top of the line engine tuner, bigger injectors, better turbo, and some propane. Top that with a little blue bottle and run 11's in a 7500 lb 4 wheel drive. |
