Post Gettin' beat by Corsicas and Neons

Just had a flashback of the times when I had the V6 '79 stang. Man, all the time I got picked on by Berettas, Corsicas, Neons, Tauruses, old beat up cars, Grand Ams (Grand Prix was out of my league-- by the way, what is the plural of Grand Prix?), stock pickups, etc, etc. When I went to the track and ran a 19.5 in the 1/4th (had another V6 '79 that ran 18.7!), my brother laughed at me and said it looked like I was going for a Sunday drive.
Anyway, I made sure I payed them all back after the stang got the V8 transplant. Just thought I'd let you all know.

Well, I am picking up an 89 Corsica next month to be used as a daily driver. Nice to know I'm getting a real hot rod!!
