I was behind one of these on the way home this afternoon and I purposely sped up just so I could give it the Look. I was afraid the driver was going to get on the interstate and I just didn’t want him to go without a Look.
Lucky for me, the driver was going the same way as I was and once we were alone I think he gave me a show. Maybe I just want to believe he was putting the car through its paces just to show me. I turned off the radio so I could hear his engine. The Wanda Honda tried to keep pace because what the engine lacks in pick-up the driver makes up for in driving skill on back roads. I know no fear and will take curves like I’m driving a muscle car.
He gave me one last demonstration and then responsibly used his blinker and turned off the road. I was grinning like a fool.
I blame this insanity on this car…my first. Mine was black with grey detailing.
I saw one of these the other day for the first time (sorry, don’t know how to hyperlink in the comments section). It is a stunning car, but I was disappointed to find out it only packs 320 hp. I was thinking it would be nice in a 12 cylinder with 500-600 hp. Preferably black or a dark green.
I was never a huge Monte Carlo fan. Chevelle and Olds 424′s are more to my liking.
Your first car was much better than mine. mine was a crappy little Datsun 210, bright yellow, with cheap vinyl interior that was all ripped up.
I didn’t mention that I had duct tape with a towel over the duck tape in the back seat so passengers weren’t cut to shreds on the vinyl. Or, that I had to constantly buy new valve cover gaskets for the engine.
It was a really fun car though.
FrogII, if we’re going to talk convertibles this is the ONE.

Yes, always like Jags. I’ll have one of the supercharged, 6 speeds in a convertable. Heck, might as well take two while we’re at it.
He he….duct tape. That stuff can be used for just about any project. Duct tape and towels….the perfect combination.
