First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List
.........................................................................
Actually, I stay subscribed, but family life, combined with nearly full-time 
travel the last couple years has made participation almost impossible. I pick a 
few emails to read. Obviously this one caught my eye as Geoff rarely writes, I 
figured it was important to the present discussion.

My step-son who will be 19 soon, was given the 92 Sunbird convertible I used to 
drive, and we did a father-son refurb together - new convertible roof (what a 
job!), carpet, mechanicals such as brakes, front suspension and in-tank fuel 
pump, has seat work done while out for the carpets, and the car looks great now.

He had no real interest in cars until I brought out my old Aurora HO slot cars, 
and he and his younger brother got so good at racing them that they kicked the 
old man's butt in just a few days of practive. Something to be said about their 
hand-eye coordination with modern game controllers.

He's leaning on me to get on my cars now, and expects the 69 LeMans convertible 
to be his when I kick the bucket.
