Items I'd want if they're there

-The front stock 99 grill with the Cougarhead emblem
-The door Cougarhead emblems that are under the door handles
-The little plastic plugs that holder the trunk hatch carpet up

[jaged]

nope (bumper/ headlights are gone)
one for sure
should be there, just need to get the trunk open, that could be......interesting

Well I may have gotten away from buying the Impala, I am now goign to look at a 2001 Taurus OHV with 44k miles that they guy claimed he could do 6 for via e-mail but I have to assume could be gotten down to 5k if I check it out and talk to him some. I would prefer a Ford over a Chevy but that is just me, Fords always seem more logical and easier to work on for me.

And the Impala seems like things with it are a little shady so I kidna want to stay away from that. The Taurus is at a dealerhisp and has good tires and was just put through inspection and detailed so that is always a plus.

dealership is always the safe way to go.

I hope so, it seems like a decent car just need to get the price to the right level tonight when I swing by the dealership and if he won't budge come back in a week or two and see if its still there there see what he can do for price. Atleast with a dealership I can make sure that they did an oil change and such along with teh full detail job before I pick it up. The other car would have needed one hell of a detail and clean up job plus I think I might have shot myself driving with a blue 1982 style interior everyday.

[LadyX]

woo..blue 1982.. yeahh...that's scary.

[Jorgen]

But eh we'll see whne I swing by and test drive the taurus otehrwise I think I will just keep looking not like i need another car. I think I am just going to buy one then sell my car for a new toy soon after that. Unless I can get myc ar comfy enough to daily drive and then just keep it (only has 10,000 miles on suspension and engine) and daily drive that and keep the new toy in the garage when it isn't time to play.

Hey Ron, talk to Brett about that grill you want.
