Keep DDing the 02 until it rusts away. These cars are too easy to work on and its paid off.
Ill eventually pick up another 87 GN. This time wait it out and find a hard top with low miles that is unmolested...
Lesson #1. Avoid 80's T-tops

you know bio I do agree with that the new national deserves a v6, I also have taken into consideration that deprecation of driving a car of the lot is a big hit, but in my defense I want something that will be more of the old man car while selling the gp and looking for something like a vette or at least ls powered car.
I had to completely replace the floorboards. Not to mention 3500 bucks on new stainless steel t top components.Quote:

Must be why most cars I see with t tops are all siliconed up hahaha.Quote:

I will keep it as a winter beater but I want a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan. Awesome cars!

I got nothing but trouble from the police because of the exhaust. LOL but cruising down the highway with the wind noise was nauseating.Quote:

You can see there how nice the floors were. I have a ton of pics if anyone is interested.
Sorry to derail the thread! I'm done now.
Must be a northern thing.Quote:

Plus one of the few running 10 second GPs. Who knows how fast it will go once I change my fuel pump.
I LOVE driving it. Still turns heads and amazes people.
Much love... Lol
