[V8] Depressing

[Ed Kellock]

I've got one that I feel would compare to Roger's in condition. I've
another that might be mor akin to Cobra m's frame of mine. The latter is my
daily driver and I love it. It's ready for a timing belt service. Both are
actually. I have the parts for both.

I really enjoy the freedom of driving the one daily because it still does
all the same things as well as ever with the added benefit of not much at
stake in terms of an accident. Just wish I'd been driving it instead of the
avant that day in January when that devil-blue Neon pulled out in front of
me without looking.

I plan to be rid of the Avant at some point and am fairly close to trying
to sell the Coupe GT. I'm sticking with the V8 for the foreseeable future
though. No reason not to.
