I do know this though:
I just got back from the same O, same O. 2nd Saturday of the month cruise in here in lovely Birmingham, Alabama.
Call it an overblown ego, call it a "world revolves around me" narcissism disorder, call it Mikes' just a whiny ass, baby .................. but I'll take having a "love it, or hate it" morphadite 68 wannabe fox body, w/ a slow ass 300 HP 2 valve, to a (insert any power level here) Terminator Cobra anyday.
I mean don't get me wrong,.......The car is fun, and the power is awesome,........but parking the car in a line of new edge bodies where the only thing that differentiates the cars is the colors, and the wheels, is to me...................................................................................................
,....... (Anybody got a Redbull?)
Here's the same group of people that last year stopped to ogle the red car,...now just cruisin' by,.....you get the faint "how do I know this guy" look, and the crooked little smile,....but they still just cruise on by none the less.
While driving home,...I start thinking...
The little red dude w/ the horns chimes in: "I should just be done w/ the hobby,......I'm not enjoying it anymore",...I ain't got the time or the money to create another one of a kind".
The little white robed dude w/ the halo offers: "But what if you could find the Fairmont you want, and transfer every single piece of that car over to it and leave only a 2003 shell to put on C/L?" I mean I'm talkin' engine, trans, front, rear, interior, electronics,...every stinkin' thing, and let my faded, mismatched body end up in either a drag racers garage, or be the answer to some Cobra dudes' prayer be-in as he totaled his junk last night.
The red horned voice of gloom reminds me that if I do what Willy white robe thinks, I'll have a Fairmont that while admittedly will be the only one of it's kind,...stripping the Cobra to make it that way will be a dumb move, as it will be the last time that those pieces combined will ever be worth the 14,000.00+ the car could bring if I just sell it.
So to make a point,..I'm not asking for anything here.
I'm just ranting.
Another step down my path towards KIA ownership. or It's just that time of the month.
