walk away

[Dan DiBiase]

My 240 Turbo wasn't very slow, though, Hayes.... It had plenty of punch.... And 
yeah, the seats were the best I have ever sat in
(and that includes chairs in my house!!). The car was silver with the blue 
corduroy interior, really sharp looking... I love the silver
and blue combination. Had the 4-speed with electric overdrive.
