Welcome to the site from about 45 minutes north of Oshawa. Excellent story! You could have a future as an automotive jourlalnist. Is your father still driving European cars, or has he driven domestic iron? That's a nice looking Malibu. The Z28 rims look good on it. I picked up a 1980 Malibu coupe that's a factory V8/4 speed car last fall. I'm looking forward to getting it on the road this summer.
As Jeremy says, pretty soon we're going to have to try to get the members from the southern Ontario area together for a coffee/meet & greet session.
