Thriller Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Ya know those wildcats are just...so cool...and they had the 401, later the 430...ya know...and all that other...stuff....I think it's time for me to unload my 38 and get a wildcat already.The last of them had a 455 too....That being said, I remember being your age(ish). When I was 15 I declined to buy a '53 Chev pickup...the guy who rented my father's farm land was selling it to benefit a nursing home that my great aunt was in...it wasn't my style as I was young and full of adrenaline and testosterone. My point is that phase eventually passes. I'm sure you would be kicking yourself for selling the '38 down the road. I'm sure there's nobody else at school with a more intriguing car and it is a piece of your father that is tangible to you. Now, I'm not trying to discourage you from getting a 'Cat by any stretch. I'm just suggesting you wait until you can get one as a second car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ZondaC12 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hahahahahaha d'oh! A small part of me was worried that I wasn't silly enough with the post. The '38 aint goin NOWHERE. The point was in reference to *ahem* the wildcat picture posted LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 ooohhhhh, "that" Wildcat. Yea, you'll definitely want to shop around and find a little bit newer than a '38 model of one of those. And good luck finding a non previously owned one of them. Even a low mileage will be hard to find these days. They're out there though, good luck. Let us see what you find.

Thriller Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Do you know what Roberta drives? Your Cougar will look like it is standing still if you try to outrun her. I mean, look at her avatar for crying out loud.Now, I think the Wildcats will all be a little bit old for you, speaking of cougars. You may want something more like a Reatta, the end of the line GN / Regal T-types, or possibly a Riviera...something sleek and sophisticated, but still beautiful. Now, if I recall correctly, you are taking engineering...if so, forget about those wild cats, concentrate on the studies, and one will find you in due course. Patience is a virtue...at least that's what us old guys like to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZondaC12 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hahahaha. Well for one thing...I was more referring to stevo but yes...good point hmmmmm.

Thriller Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Bill, you gotta stop toying with the lad... I mean, he's going to start thinking all Wildcats come appointed like that...or could it just be those rare GSs?I've probably asked before, but is that code F paint on that car? That's what mine is, and it looks similar, but computer screens and digital photos can skew colours a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
