Re: 86 CGT Digi-Dash??? What's up?

[Timothy C Salazar II <tsal2@juno.com>]

The C.E. CGT was white with a red leather (I think) interior.  The
spoiler was painted white, as well.  Overall, I think it looked pretty
tacky, if you ask me.  The digi-dash was just a gimmicky option you could
order for the `86 & `87 production year CGT's.  I guess the C.E.'s had
all the bells & whistles, plus that to-die-for color scheme.  Is it just
me, or are all "Commemerative Edition" cars heinously outfitted,
color-wise?  I mean, take the Martini Porsche 924's (Please!!!), or that
1998 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car.  You know, the one that looks like a 1:1
scale HotWheels car?  I know it could whoop my ass in any kind of street
race, but...COME ON!  Just my opinion, not a political stance.

Love, Like, or Just Plain Tolerate,

Timothy

`85...Aw, skip it!
