LOL I prefer to drive my 83 GS daily, but with 2 kids and only 2 seats it's not practical or safe. My daily driver I guess would be the 7 if I don't have to pick up the kids. If I do have to pick up the kids or I'm working on the 7 it usually is my 1987 Camaro RS, or my husband's 1994 Isuzu P'up (when the Camaro is being worked on), my Jeep Cherokee Sport (331,000 miles and still going!), and as a last resort...my husband's 1978 F150 Supercab! It's like vehicle lottery...I never know what I will be driving from day to day...today it's the P'up...tomorrow? Who knows? LOL

yesterday i replaced the water pump and the omp on my 85 S and took it for a cruise. i forgot how much fun that car is. it just sits in my driveway and has barely moved since winter has hit. it really must be nice to live in a state where it doesnt snow!

How funny! My Jeep is dark green as well...same year! The key to keeping that one going is to keep on top of repairs and maintenance. Thought we lost her Christmas Day because she kept hesitating while driving. Got home after a 200 mile trip and checked the oil and it was 4 qts. low. I could have beat my husband with a filter wrench since he drives her daily...LOL I put oil in her and now she drives good again!
