this is "just my luck!"

well i went to pick up my gsl-se and my 83 limited edition today, the gsl-se was on the rollback truck, and the 83 ls was behind on the car dolly.. well 1st of all, we were going up the road, and i heard a loud thump, and a som other wierd noises... It got me courious, so i pulled over on down the road a after about a mile to look to see what happend. The glass sunroof in the se flew off the car (i had the car on the bed backwards) and hit the 83 le's back window and shatterd that and the sunroof all over the road! i hope it did not hit anyone behind me! luckly nobody tryed to chase me down because it went all over there car, and want me to pay for tiress or a paint job....(well not yet anyways)!

next thing that happend is i was mowing the yard tonite befor it got dark, and i must of ran over something, and it went right the the se's back window! bummer, i should have stayed in bed today!

one more thing, the 83 le, i dont think its really a limited edition... because firs of all it is a dark green in color, and it was brown at first, it has cruise control, but no power windows (i thought le's had power windows and they all were silver in color with red int.) this one has brown and grey int. but it has those nice wheels like it hast to have...im going to walley-world to get one of those digital cameras and to see if those are the le wheels...(it dose say "mazda" on the center caps) wam

someone forgot to fully latch and close the sunroof on your SE. When properly closed it shouldn't have flown off, driving backwards or not.

same here. I've taken up Carl's philosophy of helping out at-cost when possible. Just extending a hand. Glad to hear you have plenty of parts.
