Thumbs up Back in my old GSL-SE!

Long story short I sold this car at the end of 2008. I regretted selling it since that day.
Well when she became available again it could not pass it up.

Very happy to have her back.

85k miles on the body/interior.

Much better than re-marrying an ex... the -7 won't hold a grudge.

And it won't nag you about the other cars you've been driving in the meantime.

Thanks!
It's a 84.
I plan on creating a dedicated build thread about the car.
I have not had the time to yet.

Nice car. I can see why you missed it. Just curious, did you pay more, less or was it a wash getting her back?
