Hey, presidential, welcome.

Is that your car in your avatar? Looks like a nifty paint job - post up a pic!

My first car was a '64 Catalina Ventura, 4 door hardtop. 389 ... but no six pack - only the 2bbl! Automatic, too. I wish I'd kept the notebook I found in the glove compartment when I got it - the previous owners had kept a gas log. It'd be good for a chuckle now.

It's been a long path through many vehicles in the last 20 years, but I came full circle and returned to Pontiac with my current ride, the Firefly (CDN market Metro clone). Pretty much its polar opposite, too!
