I'm at work, so I can't attach pictures. But if you're interested, check out

A couple weeks ago I rented their '63 Skylark convertible and drove around the
mountains in my former home state. Was a wonderful trip, and the car was a
great addition. Tough old car, simple to operate, and very eye-catching.
Kinda changed my tastes in cars a little, too. I liked cruising around the
mountains in a quiet car getting about 20 mpg. I have since looked on ebay and
seen how the Skylark progressed into a large muscle car later in the '60's. I
think I prefer the Granny version like the one I rented.
So lately I've kinda wondered if I'd be happier in a '63-65 elky, too. My '73
has lots of potential as a muscle car, but I don't know if that's as exciting
to me anymore, especially with $4/gallon gas a very likely possibility in the
future.
Anyway, that's all I have for now. Just wanted to brag about my vacation!
