that brings back some memories
a (ex) buddy bought one brand new back in the spring of 89
$23900 out the door - same as your's with t tops , dig dash & leather
I had the oppertunity to drive it when it was still only a few weeks old - NICE CAR !!
the end of the week before x mass that same year it got POUNDED in the rear by a topaz or tempo
a couple of buddies & I saw the accident on our way home from shoppin - he got knocked all the way across the intersection , both Q buckeled to heck , back bumper skin shattered like glass
he almost broke his neck against the back seat - his seat back collased and the car got pushed out from under him - much harder of a hit and he'd of gone right out the back window - yes he had his seatbelt on , his feet caught the lap belt
7K in damage
the next summer he had the car "stolen" and torched - then tryed to convince us that "it just happened" and he didn't know anything about it
yeah , right after he spent all spring trying to con one of us to do it for him
oddly , I found it at the wreaker's the week after (didn't know it was gone till I saw it)
almost directly across the yard's driveway from it sat the tempo / topaz that had hit it
and across the road from me there was a tavern - dureing the week after there was a light blue cop car sitting there like it was watchin my place - nice , but not my concern as I didn't have anything to do with it
I scooped one of the plates off it - said to the guy at the jy counter it was off my buddie's car - figured he might want one of his first plates for a keepsake (heh heh)
one of the guys sitting at a desk behind the counter just glared at me
( local legend has it - that yard is a mob deal)
I still think that the 2 cars sitting so close together was more than a freek of nature
buddy just about freeked when he came over the next time and saw the plate nailed to the wall in my garage
