I love your humility and discipline. People nowadays just spend money they don't have just because they "want" something. I completely know how you feel when you get something you've been pining for. I wanted a muscle car ever since I was like 3 years old...When I pulled up to my house last year in my 1976 Plymouth, I felt like I was 18 again.:hyper:

Oh Oh Oh!! What is it? 318 or 360? Volare? Scamp? Road Runner?? Tell me more...please. Opps! Saw your name Valiant. Pics?

Nahhhh I don't need a V8 out here...The cost of gas is way too much for that...Plus there's a billion stoplights out here in Vegas so there'd be nowhere to go fast. She's a slant six, Plymouth Valiant...Last of the truly good muscle cars.(76 was the last year for muscle cars.)

Just had to do it, didn't ya? All those years fat dumb and happy, without really knowing what you were missing. Now that you've got it, you're just going to want to go back and do it all over again. :D Congratulations; enjoy it. :bassist:
