I can photo chop up a 5th gen. But every time the thread is locked when I do. I guess this isnt a 5th gen board.

Yeah what if some psycho on acid with a key comes by and starts scratching the paint trying to find the real color. Hmm.... I wonder what your car would look like on acid. Not that I would ever do that shat again. WOW!

Her car seems to be one of those love/hate things.

I love it. If any 3rdgen can pull that paint off its a '91 - '92 bird.

I cant wait to see what rims you get.

Sweet looking bird! Is that a V-8 bird that you are flyin' or is it just a V-6? Gotta back up that paint right! I want to strip my clear coat off of my Formula and do a purple or blue pearl clear coat to be different! I think that would look pretty cool!

If you actually read the posts, you'll notice one she posted says "Husband Typing" and goes on to talk about the price ans rims. Taking a Reading class helps you see these things. BTW, love the paint, its good to see a lady take initiative to try something different, A+ for effort and enthusiasm!

OUCH Burn. I'm glad I wasn't the one that asked if she was single. Any girl or woman who is really into cars as most of us guys does not stay single for long. A lot of us guys remain single because we spend so much time and money on our cars (toys).

It's just a TBI 305. Hubby wanted to put a SBC 400 in there, but i wouldnt let him so he sold it. Also wanted to put a ram air hood on it, but i am still undecided about that one. Also rims but i wouldnt let him, but now i think i will. Pretty day today so might take some higher quality pics.

That is good advice for me too. I can't go one day without looking stupid in some way or another. The other day I ran a stop sign because I reached over on the passenger side to get another French Toast Stick.
