New Boss Owner / New Member
Hello, everyone, I'm Aaron. I was 26 at this time last year, and test drove a School Bus Yellow Boss 302. I had never been behind the wheel of anything like this in my life. After the drive, one of the salesman asked me, "What'd you think, kid?" and of course I guffawed and went on and on about it. I took delivery of a race Red GT/CS a few days later, but on my tours through the car lots, I snapped a picture of another SBY at their sister store and kept it close. The experience stuck with me, the way it handled sounded, etc. It followed me into my dreams.
I went on a 7 month deployment and looked at the picture of the car daily, telling my friends it was truly the car I wanted, and they would look at me and shake their heads and ask me 'What's wrong with the car YOU JUST BOUGHT now?" At any rate, I surfed online in the months leading up to me coming home and watched in growing despair as the SBY's sold and moved from Florida until there was only ONE left.
The one I took the picture of. Sitting neglected, un-purchased, 7 months later in the back lot at the dealership. At Invoice.
The rest as they say is history. Traded in the red coat for a yellow jacket. I couldn't be happier. My Uncle Dan had a 1970 SBY and always told me he wish'd he'd kept that car.
I'll go broke before giving up this one.
