My mom is going to loan me her 1978 Pontiac Catalina while my car is getting the body damage repaired. There ain't nothing like driving a v-8 powered American rear wheel drive boat.

Make sure there is plenty of water in the radiator.

Might go ahead and put an extra 5 gallon jug in the trunk.

Roll up a pack of smokes in your t-shirt and grease ya hair back.

Don't wear any socks with your loafers and make sure you wear some nice crisp blue jeans.

I live 4 hrs from North Platte. To equate Lincoln and North Platte is to equate Norman and Stillwater.

My dad has a toronado out at my grandparents place that was only driven a few hundred miles until it was parked and never moved again. He wants to fix it up and start driving it...I am horrified.

She just got this three weeks ago. It's her winter car, she chooses between a Camaro and Impala Converitibles in the summer, or from one of 4 Corvettes.

my question is, why are you excited about the boat when she has 4 corvettes to choose from?

because it's the best I can hope for on borrowing a free vehicle right now. I know that I am going to get the 74 Corvette and 67 Impala Convertible eventually though, so that make up for it.
