    Ran across this pic today while cleaning up my shop. This pic is from 1980, and the car had a 302/C4, and ran 12.0s in the quarter. Sure wish I hadn't gotton crazy and sold it. But.....getting married puts a lot of financial pressures on you. Now, both car and wife are gone....live and learn!:cry:

    I know what you mean about the "getting married and financial" thing, Earl.

    Luckily my wife has a "what happens in the garage - I don't care" attitude. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
