Then lost my job so I sold the blower. Buddy came and picked it up to take to his house to take the blower off. Well, while it was out his house (not parked in his shop like I thought it would be) he fucking backs into it. This happens after the car had been there long enough to have weeds growing all around it and I had already paid him to put the freeze plugs back in for me. So I'm pissed at him at this point for not fixing my car when he said he would and now for backing into it.

So after thinking for awhile I sold it to another buddy of mine. He had it repainted and all the dents fixed then he sold it to a buddy of ours. I should've bought it back but I'm dumb. Guy that has it now has put way too much money in it for me to be able to afford it now lol

Guess that wasn't so short after all.

Damn thats a sad story. I hate my pos most the time, but when I see it I get all happy I never sold it. Even if I drive it once a month when it runs Ill be happy I never let it go in the past.

And didn't realize how sad it was til I was typing all that shit out

I miss it everyday but I really miss it the few times I get out and just cruise around.

My first mistake was putting the built AOD in it. Think if I had kept the 3550 and then put the blower on I would've kept it. Hell I was never able to make a full pass with the damn blower. Still aggravates me.

Ok, calm down....

Just remind all the reasons why you hated driving a shitbox foxbody around while driving around with your modern conviences in your Coyote that work 24/7 and not having to worry about the hassle of inspection. lmao.

I liked all those reasons. Plus I had a daily driver back then. I just think about what could've been if I had kept it. I'd have the Fox for my toy and the Coyote for my daily. Oh well.

No hassles here man, safety only. Its nice having a 25 year old car, no more emissions testing.

You know, getting this car I was expecting it to blend in and no one would notice it thinking it was like every other Caddy out there on the road. Much to my surprise (and disappointment) this car gets A LOT of attention. Every time I fill up with gas or at the store or something someone says something. I've gotten several thumbs up and even more so more people pulling up and trying to take off real fast to see if they can get me to "go".

Short answer : A lot more than you and I both would think!
