Comments: This was the second car I ever owned. I bought it in September of 1992 and drove it daily for a few years. I sold it and in 2000, I tracked it down and bought it back. It was pretty well trashed, so I tore it completely down and rebuilt it. It took a long, long time but it finally got back on the road. It was originally painted this color scheme in 1988 and I liked it so much I kept it. I have a love/hate relationship with it, but now I'm driving it daily as long as the snow isn't around!
