At thr risk of generalizing Im sure there are many on the list who can
relate to
putting $3000 into a $500 car - my nly question is "how to get away with
only 3000!"
I figure my 72B is worth about 5000 now but that figure was in the rear
view mirror LONG before the new seats!! (about the same price ans a 3
piece suite i reckon!
- no matter, it aint for sale!!
I dont personally intened to get into Fieros but my bet is that folk will
before too long....
especially the late model which personally thought was a damn good
looking car for a Detroit creation....got an unused corner???
BTW - if Jesus had known, I reckon he'd have gone to the beach for
easter!!! (sorry)
