Good morning all and Happy Sunday.
My first car was also a Pontiac Grand Prix. It wasn't a cool 1970s car though. It was a very nicely used one from the mid 90s (maybe 1995?). But even though it was pretty old when I got it, it worked well and I loved it.
Oooh yeah baby!
My first car bought 2nd hand in the early 80s was a 1968 HK Holden Premier. Loved that vehicle. Mine was a royal blue with cream top and cream interior. No fancy rims like the ome in this photo - all standard gm holden parts

I always admired my buddies, and many others like yourself, who did all sorts of cool stuff with their cars. I was, and still am, all left thumbs with anything beyond the basics of auto maintenance.yup there was also a 389 and 421 but not for our cars,just 400 and 455 those years.could get 10 miles to a gallon, If I was real easy on it after I put a Holley 750 dual line double pumper.do know those cars back and forth like Letitia know flavors or Ange knows math or you know dogs.
Morning HTR.

Thanks for sharing the video.
I like it. It's a very stylish mod. It uses the Aspire ASP chipset. I would buy one if they would have CNC'ed it out of aluminum and SS like they did with the Mixx versus zinc alloy and painted finish. For me personally, they set the bar high with the Mixx. At most online stores it's basically the same price as a Mixx.
For folks who are interested... Once it's in the basket and at checkout at Aspire UK it shows up as £54.15. With Aspire's current BF 35% off it comes to £35.20 ($46.84 USD). If it was $30 USD I would grab one.

Nothing like a little key lime on a Sunday morning.

My first car was a 1966 Chevelle, raised up with air jacks, big wheels and surfboard racks on top. I was 16-17. I blew the engine going to see my boyfriend at the beach and not heeding to the 'engine hot' light. (blew a freeze plug and I kept driving) HA. My dad had to come tow me home. He was not happy. I learned about maintaining a car after thatFWIW the time of muscle cars here ended in about the mid 1970’s.
Everything that came after is, IMO meh at best.
In 1978 I bought a used 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix (400 V8) very similar to this one. It seriously hauled azz.

I agree about the Mixx and hear you about the materials but I love the form and design - it would be the closest I'd ever get to a Saudade.
