While in the parking lot, waiting for my tattoo appt, I saw a Chevrolet Caprice like mine.

Waited a few minutes, and an elderly woman walked up to the car. I asked her before she left, what year... ‘89, probably TBI but I didn’t want to ask her too many questions.

Body and frame was in way better shape than mine. Although the plastic filler trim piece by the bumpers, were not as good, plus the vinyl top 🤦‍♀️😭

She is from the country she said and has a ‘82 also but with bad frame rails, but thankfully the salt isn’t as bad there according to her.

I would go for different wheels, otherwise pretty cool

These seem to becoming more regular in the area, saw one at Cars N Coffee a few weeks ago but then saw 2 on the same trip. This was the one coming back, there was a blue one on the way out that I thought looked really sharp and was actually towing. Wonder how long he was able to go before having to stop to charge up

Then Lisa showed up at Cars N Coffee with the rest of the Turbo T's

Here's a few I've been taking over the last few weeks. Finally figured out to get the pictures off my iPhone and on to my windows laptop.
A few clean trucks. The white ford is one of those body's with the bed attached like the El Camino. A nice Jeep set up in the gas station. I always like those Blazer's lowered. A nice Lowrider. That's a Mercury version of the Fox Body Mustang. My buddy's '84 Cutlass.
