Joe_black .. that sure sounded like a comedy of errors! But as long as you have your new toy.. thats what counts.

Home made hot air balloon? That sounds kinda scary...

Agreed on 'simlarity' of tastes. I see we also have a Fiero owner on our list. I had wanted one from before they went up for sale... (I got my license a year later) I test drove one in 89 or 90.. but ended up with a Grand Am instead (back seats come in handy when carting fellow college classmates around).

Then in 94, I looked at a Delorean with about 40k miles on it.. for about $15k, but I was concerned about parts availability... according to the web sites at the time, there were certain parts that you just could not find anywere.

So instead of the Delorean. I opted for the electric blue 92 Grand Prix SE with a 3.4L v6 and quad overhead cams. .. It was the one with the more aggressive GTP body style ... sans hood vents ... I really wish it had hood vents .. but hey.. the rest of the car was exactly what I had been shopping for 3 years earlier.. Was planning on ordering it - color and all.. from Pontiac. It just happend to be sitting slightly used at a dealership that my family is friends with.

Along with the VX... That Grand Prix was the other favorite of all the cars I have owned. It also made my decision to buy this VX back in April very difficult. In that the same week that I saw the VX for sale, there was a 2000 Grand Prix GTX (super charged and Ram Air/exhaust from SLP) ... similar price, same color... it was a very tough choice at first.. but the more I read on here and ClubVmag... I slowly swayed off of the fence.. and.. well... here I am
