I liked it better with the snowflakes.
As much fun as my 'rocco was, i grew bored with it. I decided to let it go, and sold it in Feb of 07. Then i started looking for it's replacement. I just adopted the attitude that i really didn't know exactly what i was looking for, but i would know it when i found it..LOL (that part just makes my wife smile...).
In June of 07, my wife wanted to go to a cruise on a Saturday that was being held at a body shop that she drove past on her way back and forth from work. It is a nice shop that does a lot of muscle car type restoration. She wanted to take her SAAB to the cruise(the blue car in the pict is her 1969 SAAB 96 V-4, her birthday present in 05). We got to the cruise around 2, but it didnt officially start until 3, so there were only a handful of cars there. As soon as we got there, we were both drawn towards a white cabby parked just up the hill a bit from us. The top was down, and i could see what appeared to be a sign of some type on the other side of the car, on the rear window. I walked around and it was a 'for sale' sign....then my jaw dropped. My wife said "how much'? When i told her, she immediatly said "your going to buy it, right?", to which i replied.."i am ALL over this"!!! We found the owner, who as it turned out was a body man there at the shop. He bought it a few years prior because it had a spotless underside, but needed some restoration work. He stripped it to bare metal, fixed everything that needed to be fixed, and repainted it. He put all new leather seatcovers and door cards on it. Then a new top, some basic mechanical stuff(fuel pump, alternator, etc). After he was done, he drove it a little bit, then got bored and bought a rolled civic and started working on it. Apparantly, his profession is also his hobby. The only thing he told me was wrong was that the clutch was a little weak.He said he already had a new clutch and PP for it. I told him if he put the clutch in and inspected it(it was a few months from expiring) , i would pay him his asking price(which IMHO was kind of low for the amount of $$ in the car). He agreed, and about a month later i became the proud owner of a 1987 Wolfsburg edition triple white cabriolet.
