Don't even think about it!!! I was so glad to see your car in person, looks great and the only one like it. Sorry I did not get to speak to you this past weekend and talk about old Buicks. Next time.....

Thanks for the props John, and right back at ya. I saw your car, and it looked even better in person, but I never actually saw you around it.
Would love to reminisce about old Grand Sports....portholes and all.

You mean that is not a functional scoop? Figured you had that setup like older transams with the ram air!
Okay, all kidding aside.. I actually do like the scoop..before joining here I was wondering how one would look on the car..

If I had a "pressure cooker" SRT6, then I'd probably open it up for ventilation.
But for a CAI, you can't beat what NeedsWings offers.
By the way, I've got Miata parked in my garage too.

Re: Portholes

Are you sure you didn't park it on the other side of the mall?

Re: Portholes

I just cannot wait to see what it looks like when it gets recovered! Hey, it could even have been involved with a few local armed robberies... Hmmm, would bulletholes count as portholes? They do sort of port the metal skin some don't they? Anyway, lets hope the car shows up with three diamond portholes and no bulletholes. Pics Pics Pics!!!
