mourning my old car
I finally took the plunge last week and ordered an 05 prem GT Vert, ETA July 25th. Sold my beautiful bright blue 2000 coupe to my son and took his 92 Olds in trade. The Olds seemed a little "floaty" (I usually to take exit ramps at 60 mph & this thing would barely stay in the lane) so I had my mechanic (where I work) look at it today. The front struts (?) are seized or frozen or something. Oh, & it needs a water pump. He said to just drive it gently until my new car is in. I'm actually having nightmares because I miss my old car so bad
. Please tell me it's worth the wait!! I only test drove a 6 cylinder-there were no GT"S to be found in the area that aren't sold. And I'm afraid I'm not going to love the windveil blue as much as the Bright Atlantic. I ordered the Windveil with parchment top, hoping it would be girly enough to keep all the men in my family away from it. Just looking for encouragement here! Thanks!

RE: mourning my old car
Welcome! Atlantic Blue was a great color-- how come you didn't go with the Sonic Blue? [&:] Hopefully the Windveil is good for ya- I'm not a fan of it, but that's just me.
Hope youcan wait, I know it'll be tough, but hang in there.

RE: mourning my old car
I hadtrouble choosing between the 2 blues, but knew I wanted the parchment top & think the Windveil goes better. The photos that you guys post has Sonic looking WAY better than I thought - I must have seen it on a cloudy day. - Plus I'm afraid Sonic & Bright Atlantic might clash in the driveway
. Really, since I got the car ordered as a favor from one of the ford stores our owner has, I'll stick with it. If the Oldsmobile doesn't kill me first. you know- I'm thinking I've attached a wrong photo maybe- I'm not too good at this- oh well
