    Thanks for the updates. A dual master cylinder is a real plus because of the safety factor. Good brakes are a plus.

    Well just got her back from the shop, had an overheating issue yesterday and didn't make it home but I got her a new thermostat and seal and she's off. Got to take her for her first ride! You couldn't wipe the shit eating grin off my face if you tried...here she is, in all her ugly glory parked in front of the new pad... IMG_20160419_185046.jpg

    Those big sedans make fine daily drivers. The only deficiency I ever experienced was lack of air conditioning.

    That knocks it out of the park!

    That is lingerie on a car! That is smoking hot! That's freaking awesome!
    List goes on!

    Does it smoke the tires? Because then that most be the weekend of a life time.

    Reminds me of a story with a OT young F1 racer-boy winning a major GP. At the press conference a female journalist ask the drive; "This most be the greatest moment in you entire young life"!
    He looks up and down her and says; "You clearly wasn't there when I last my virginity"! Lol

    And I bet that is a ball park of how great it feels that it runs and drives AND has that paint job. One of the greatest moments in you life

    If this is inappropriate, let me know.
