Huh, that's me.

But that's okay, because I'm going to sell my house in order to bid on this:

My normal work day:

For me, it's more like "cars I shouldn't buy" because I pretty much ignore the ones I can't afford because I can't afford, so there's no way.

It's the ones I can afford, but shouldn't buy that cause the most consternation, temptation and interest.

But I don't really do that at work.

Yeah, that one is pretty clearly in the pedestal category of vintage cars. I want one to drive one, whenever the hell I want. I mean, you could do that with this baby, but I understand why you wouldn't.

A fuelie that was originally one of the base or near base 327s is the answer for this car.
