Just got terminated from my job this week...day after Christmas. No savings...no back-up plan. Tryin' to start a new job by next week, but might not be enough by the time the payments roll around on the FD.

*sigh*

35, Business Owner.

I had a 79' back in 95 and sold it 2 weeks after I bought it...Never forgot the car though, and knew I had to have another...It's really strange how these cars become so sentimental.

Now I have a 89' FC Vert LT1 T-56 in the process of a "little" build up.

44, IT Director, purchased my 93 Touring new in mid 93 for $30k...$500 below invoice. It's my daily driver, paint chipped, dented and door dinged it looks like crap. Last dyno'ed ~400rwhp, g-tech pro confirms and shows 1.41 G's lateral... and yes...I do have to wear a teeth protector on certain roads....I'm a human bobble-head......LOL
