Are you trying to make me miss Rambo?

Those were great cars. I always liked the looks of the LT-1 better. I liked the sound better too. Rambo had a deeper sound. I can't believe I never did a video of it.

When you buy a car like that and pay big $$$ for it, you better be planning on keeping it. A guy in my car club paid $75k for a Lingenfelter Camaro and when he got ready to sell it, nobody would give him near what it was worth.

Thanks for sharing. Very nicely done.

Not trying to make you sad. I just thought of you immediately when I clicked the link in my friend's e-mail, and thought you would appreciate such a lovingly kept specimen.

I had the ultimate 1st generation Mazda RX-7, the 1985 GSL-SE. Big block, fuel injection, special wheels/tires/trim/interior. After I stopped driving it for a couple of years I was worried that I'd end up letting it rust out in the driveway. It turned out that the real market value in 2005 was $1000 or less. I gave it to a friend who wanted it in exchange for helping me out with a project at the house. He drove it for a couple of years, then gave it to another mutual friend who fixed it up and gave it to his son.

I got way more than $1000 worth of satisfaction.

I know you wouldn't do anything to make me sad...you are too nice.

I guess the only car I ever had that had a cool ancestory was my '73 Grand Prix. Elvis had bought it for one of his body gaurds. I never saw the title, so I'm not sure if it was signed by Elvis or not. He was still alive so it wasn't such a biggie. My '76 Camaro was in the Memphis Auto Show. Can you believe that I washed and waxed the paint off that car? Litterally....I did. It was silver. I waxed it all the time. One time when I was trying to polish it up and it wouldn't shine, I realized that it was the gray primer showing through. Paint just really wasn't that good back then....waxes and polished weren't either.

Cool stories. You made me think of one of my favorite Was (not Was) tunes, Elvis's Rolls Royce.

Eew...you can't bang your head to that.
