Good looking car, Tina; brother had an Olds with that motor, and it would scoot for a big car.

Oh, and can definitely relate on the Walgreens thing, for us Chocoholics it's like an alky taking the Jack Daniels tour...

Not a bad idea ... thought about it too.
One silver car is enough though, besides the plates and the exhaust note would give it away.

Okay, are you throwing on the "old" after-market rims from the curse? You should "trick" this one out with body kits?

Nice ride, Tina!

I still have the old Fiero, but I recently got a new toy too. Shhh, it's a secret for now.

Yeah, rims are way up on the "To do list"
Matter a fact, supposed to go to a year end clearance this weekend from some big tire dealer or something.
Sure hope I am going to find something there.

As to body kits e.t.c. ... not going to get carried away with this one, or at least try.
Afterall this is a daily driver for me in the winter months.

BATBOY I though for sure you fell off the side of the earth.

So what's the new toy?
At least give us a hint.

Tina

Hey why not

No, this one is not getting those.
Even if , it be too much work. ...shocks, struts, coilovers, lowering springs ... nope not putting this much work into the car.
But, remember when I said I was going to go to that clearance sale this weekend?

Hehe, sure did. Found a steal too.

Found these for 75 smackers a piece.
Happy camper here. They are supposed to be going for $150 retail.

those wheels look great!

Very nice wheels... are those 17 inchers?

Hint? My new toy is another Pontiac.

I know it's the Minivan they came out with ...

17". Was planning on just going to 16", but the price was right one these.

Surprising how close they are to the ones on the Curse.

Winter driver huh? Tina......your in denial and resistance is futile, hehehee.. The fever has already set-in. Just don't go to any more swap meets. You'd just might find a used IRM kit. Curse 2...........Game over.

Not admitting a thing, and further ... we did get 1 inch of snow today and I did drive the car in it.
SO, technically it is a winter driver.

Now did you mention something about a swapmeet ...

Yeah, hats off to Tim and the cleaning crew.

Oh and has anyone ever known Tim to do a messy job putting something together? (well maybe the second spinmaster) lol

Tina, I sent you a PM. Hope you can keep a secret.

Tina, how is the 3800SC treating you?

I want to see those pretty new wheels on !

Have you taken that Getrag to the strip yet?
Broken it?

So, in 68 or 78 you coulda had an 88 or 98 but not a 68 or 78 in 88 or 98?

quote Originally posted by Will: Have you taken that Getrag to the strip yet? Broken it?

You are not talking about this one, are you? You mean the siver one, right?
This one is no track material yet.

It's treating me well, the occasional hick up, but nothing big.

Tina
BTW Yes, Will. Hit the track and hit it hard. 29 hole shots. Average rpm coming out between 4200 and 5000.
Trans is holding so far (knock on wood here), but looks like I am due for a new set of disks for clutch soon.

Nothing spectacular to post.
That wasn't the goal last year. The goal was to beat on the Getrag and play around with the air intake.

Fasted time so far is somewhere here on the board.
Keep in mind though please that that was a different engine from what we are running now.

Tina

So the Getrag passed the "Tina Torture Test"^©?

Finally... the wheels are on.

Still some serious wheel gap, but at least the wheels spruce it up a little.
Anybody have a set of front lowering springs laying around?

Tina
