Is it listed in your sig? If not, what is it? a GSL or SE?

If it's a GSL, what are the wheels? I like em!

I'm proud to say that I am one of the main reasons for Max buying another GSL-SE!

Seriously though, Max almost bought a GSL-SE with 30k miles on it, and fortunatly he didnt. This car is twice as nice as that car was! This car is BEAUTIFUL!!! NICE CHOICE!






'84 GSL-SE (Max7's Old one)
'86 LOADED!

Yah, was trying to find a Silver7 but none that were in the condition I was looking for,
the Red is growing on me, its looks VERY sweet.

Peejay you read my mind and yes, they are my old rims and tires
actualy I doubt I will go bridgeport. 300rwhp will be enough for me.
I'll just have to wait till next winter for the turbo.
since this years budget went to a new car to put it in.
But you never know, my good friends over at Sevenspeed can build me a nice bridgeport turbo, but I have no clue what to do with 450+ rwhp...... cept get a Tire stores credit card.

Thumbs up

.....So I'm now in hot pursuit. Party lights flashin', siren set on whelp, and I'm slidin' all over the road in the snow....Go away boy, you bother me...
Jeepers Max, what the Hell! Can't you see It's story-time. What is it now, anyway....
Aww, shoot! Is that your new car? Yuh damn showoff! It isn't bad enough that you've got one of the prettiest engine bays I've ever seen on a street car, now you've gotta find a new little hoss that's lovelier than a Mountain Sunrise!
Well, let's get picky...Where's the GSL-SE emblem? Where's the rubber door bumper guards?....Aww, it ain't no use. Haven't got the heart or the drive to be critical of this little Redbird...
I guess you're gonna now want money just to park next to yuh....

Pushin up the Stetson with one finger and long whistle...
Denny, from the 'ol corncrib...

Yes, it was a happy and a sad day, happy to have a new 7, sad to see you sell it after 8 years of marriage to her.
I forgot how much fun it was to drive a 7, its been a few months!
Already made my shopping list, and checked it twice! Santa is going to be good to me this year!
