Cool.  How  do you like the Flowmaster 44s ? I checked out your pics. Nice ride. I have ALWAYS been a fan of the red interior for some reason. :)

It's originally my mom's car....she bought it as a luxury cruising car for about $17,000 in Jan 1988. Of course she didnt realize the potential of this engine and still gets on my case about the sound of the exhaust even though im 42...lol. I still havent done what i want to do as far as upgrades, although the exhaust alone has improved things. Only 64,000 + miles so i hope it gives me many years of happiness. I have noticed it's been burning oil though. Then there's the heater core...leaking for sure. Hope to have that fixed before winter

Being broke sucks............yep. It does. I don't take a cent from my paycheck for the Sport. That's why it takes me forever to get anything done, but, it does get done. I just have to get very resourceful.

Where in NY are you? I saw the engine bay pic, then the exterior pic, then "Upstate NY" and my eyes about fell out of my head. 64K miles, "luxury cruiser" I don't care, that's still impressive that she had the discipline to keep it out of the salt and stored in a dry place. I have seen so many cars up here with even lower mileage, with claims that "it's always been babied and kept safe", but the overwhelming evidence underneath the car and in the engine bay proves otherwise....

Very nice car!
