Summer of 90, I was a confirmed Mustang guy at 26. Owned a 83 Mustang GT and then an 86 SVO. Great car. Bought a Blk/Blk/Blk Convertible Cobra. So excited! Didn't make it out of the parking lot, brakes were grinding. Went and drove another one after getting my money back. Same problem. Vettes always seemed out of reach and I was a Ford guy. Went to Cal Worthington Chevy just to look. On show room floor was a 90 Red/Blk ZR1. I had heard the hype. But with my income and a $30k additional markup, I was done. However, sales guy showed me a Blk/Blk 90 LT1. Drove it and I was hooked. Salesman was great. Best I've ever dealt with. Gave me a great deal. No haggle, just gave me his rock bottom. Should have had women all over me, but alas not even a vette can make up for this much ugly. Oh well. I have owned 7 since, but my sights never left that showroom Z. I now have 3 Z's with one being the 90 Red/Blk. But even 3 Z's can't overcome the ugly!
