Awesome!

But you're going to need a bigger garage! Maybe the firehouse will rent you some space?

I did Super Snake it...but 750HP is one hell'va lot of HP!!! I just couldn't stay off the gas and it was too easy to go from doing the speed limit to doing TWICE the speed limit (in less than 2 sec.)!! That SC whine is pretty addictive.
I got nailed once for speeding ($280 fine and 4 pts), fortunately the cop let me go because I was a fireman. But you can't push you luck too many times on that.
I loved the car but Boss is beautiful and I'm (so far) been less inclined to really get on it, and even if I do it won't take off like the Super Snake did.

Hahahah I can't blame you, that must be intoxicating driving a car that fast.

Did you sell it or are you keeping both it and the LS?

I bet you your LS turns some heads!

The SS was crazy fast and you just had to only hit the gas a little to turn it into a rocket. The whine from the SC was awesome, so you'd give some gas to spool it up but you're just going too fast too quickly.

I sold it privately but the dealer was awesome....they took it for me and applied it to the selling price of the Boss (this way I didn't have to pay any taxes). They then cut me a check for the difference. The new owner will now buy the car from the dealer at the price he and I agreed upon.

Enjoy!

That had to be bitter sweet. I recall how I felt after trading the Bullitt then looking online to see if it had sold.The dealership posted some incredible pics which I must say I could only look at once. I hope she finds a nice home.

Congrats on a beautiful ride!

Congrats!! Is that St. Thomas? Did you get the plastic wrap from the seats, or can you see if the tag on the diff? I'm looking to find the Commit number.

Ooh, guessing game... A vintage 1986 Adobe? The sassy Mexican import that's made out of clay? German engineering and Mexican know-how that helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier?

No?

Ok, I give up. What got parked in your driveway?

/No fun to tell me to guess when you give it away like that, so I made my own fun.
//Gratz!
