New girl from Texas

Yes Robyn that is a beautiful wagon you are using as your avatar.Get the CTS-V.A high school
friend brought his by last summerNow this guy has a 08 Vette convertible that his wife drives.He said the caddy with that motor is awesome and his wife is scared of the way the
power comes on so strong.She wants a CTS wagon and he wants a CTS-v wagon and last
time I talked to him they were still arguing.To me the caddy has the best of everything,plenty
pf power,room,looks and more power.

The copper caught my eye too. I really need a Grange National. A 1985 shortbed silverado, almost any elky, and a 1974 OCC. I'm torn as to whether my next late model car should be a vette, or a ctsv.

I'm about to go punch my father for moving us away from Plainview 30 years ago....

MAN you have good taste! I'd love to have shorty "bulldog" pickup. The 85-87 c-10's are my favorites, with a 350, not a 305. Hard to find clean ones. I had a 78 Silverado Big 10 a few years back, and I miss it, and would still like a newer one. I came across a CLEAN red on red 87 shorty last fall but was shocked when I opened the hood and it had a 4.3 V6 in it. Oh well!

As for the GN, it's on the "want" list for sure...someday. I do love 80's G-body cars, and currently have an 88 Cutlass Supreme Classic T-top which I love, but it's been in the shop since April for carb and intake issues. Hopefully I'll have it back soon.

As for the OCC, there is a blue 75 model here in town but the owner won't sell it. I posted about it last fall.

Such fun!

I'd take a 75. I want yellow or cream with wood grain. Plaid seats.

I'll be on the lookout!

*jaw drops*

You say you're married?

lol



You've found your home here, for sure!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Sweet looking cars Robyn. Where did you get your two tone roadie wagon? It looks hauntingly familar.....

oh you are completely rational in my book I don't have quite as much parking as you do.

Racing junk. If you know very bad things about it, ease me in. Lol
More specifically the car originated in Indiana. I bought it from Ohio. The car has a shady past, but the Guy I bought it from was exceptionally honest about all of it. I flew up there with my sister, drove it up to Niagara, and then all the way back down here to Texas. Runs great, not a fan of the handling. I just bought it a little over a week ago, and haven't had time to check into it.

That's cool, my first wagon purchase had a 1400 mile drive home
I know I've seen photos of your car before which is why I asked. maybe on CuSStom.com, ebay or the Impala forum, but I remember it as I liked the color combo and hood.

Well, when I am home, ill keep you posted on its progress.

I want your driveway.

I do too. Imagine having room to park more than one car off the street!

Well it's not so full of wagons anymore. Sold one wagon off to make room for my company pickup truck. Now looks like the evil Mitsu Eclipse is coming back over here (my wife wants to pull the bad motor out and make it an electric).

So I'll be back to parking a car in the grass again....

I am back from Bonnaroo. It is a mighty exhausting festival. I saw some cool things. The people watching is unbeatable. I am going to start taking apart the interior of Wanda tomorrow night. Finally after 3 months, I've found the time to begin. My plan is to remove the purple tint first. I am excited to get a move on. I'm so happy to have all of you in my corner, as I really have my work cut out for me. Yay!

Glad that you found us too Robyn.Very happy that your two-tone Roady is with you and not
going to end up 3 feet off the ground and 26" rims on it.

Welcome home!

I need a tutorial to "quote" people.

Just hit the little "quote" button in the upper right corner of the post you want to quote from.

What if I only want to quote a fragment? Sorry for the stupid questions. I tried deleting some part of a paragraph, but screwed it up somehow.

[ Sorry for the stupid questions. I tried deleting some part of a paragraph, but screwed it up somehow.[/quote]
If I can do it Robyn anyone can do it

Lol. Ok, ill keep at it. I'm sure I can get it. The funniest thing, I am a data processor.

[ The funniest thing, I am a data processor. [/quote]

Robyn just hit quote and then place your what I call your vertical slash behind what you want to delete.Once this is done just hit your backspace key and away you go!

The "Quote" button places puts the text into your reply box, with the tags [QU0TE] and [/QU0TE] around the text. If you don't mess with the tags, you can alter anything you want in the text in between. Like this:

One thing that sometimes gives me trouble is that if I use the mouse to highlight and delete text, it will sometimes highlight and delete a square bracket [ as well. Once the square bracket is gone, or any part of the tags is gone, the program can't recognize the "quote" command. Everything just comes out garbled.

Right. Thanks for the help, I'm sure I deleted one of the brackets in the code.

Nick you show off with all your big fancy words!

No worries Flash, I'm sure he uses a thesaurus.
