I was just wondering what the story was behind that car...
why it got parted out and scrapped? I think I've read something about it blowing trannies?

it was a beautiful car while it was still around
i remember first time seeing it at importfest, one of its last shows before the end. i couldnt help but stare because it was my first year with my car and seeing all that was done to it made me want to do the same.
his slicks still live on with me aswell
ive made good use of them so far and hope to in the future if i dont get rid of them. i use to have his cd player aswell but i didnt need it anymore so i sold that.
his car lives on in other peoples stuff and the motor will live on with its new home

The front bumper lived on my wagon for over a year, as far as I know it's now on an SVT in scarborough some were. The motor would have lived in my wagon to bu wet never got around to working things out with each other. I did however get the pleasure of sitting in the car and starting it up, it was truly an animal.
