@sizedoesmatter Thank you.  Missed everybody.  Middle of May to the end of August in hospital, two right hips installed [May 18 and Aug 2].  Still using the walker.

Here's pics of my modified '84 Turbo Coupe.  It's hard to believe that I bought this car almost 39 years ago!

@pete-rovero I had an new 85 base model in black and really liked it.  Bought a new 94 which also was nice.

I thought that the last generation big TBirds (1989-1997) were really nice looking.  After the Turbo Coupe I bought a 1990 Super Coupe.  I thought it would be the last car I would ever purchase, it was that good.  I did a few mods to it and kept it until 2002 when it  started getting too expensive to keep it running.  Sensors were going bad, dealer visits were $450 a pop, oil-filled motor mounts collapsed causing a power steering hose failure.  The last straw was when the antilock brake system went out.  Still, it was one of my favorite cars.  Black/Black

@pete-rovero, I always thought that generation of SC didn't get  the respect it deserved. They were great handling, fast GTs made to gobble miles quickly and comfortably.
