Why no Grand National?

[Funracer]

Driving home last week with my 21 year old son in the car.

A few blocks from the house we passed a pristine looking GN
with a "For Sale" sign on it. My son said "What is a Grand National?"
We pulled in the driveway.

Guy came out and said it was an 87. It is probably the nicest
one I have ever seen. I've always thought they are badazz looking.

I told him that I had test driven an '87 in 1993 before buying the
'91 ZR1. We oohed and aahed over it for a bit. He did not offer
a ride and I did not ask since I was not really a buyer. I wished
him good luck with the sale and we left.

On the way home my son said "If you liked the Grand National
so much, why didn't you buy that instead?".

I told him that I WAS going to buy a GN in '93. But then I drove a ZR1. NOTHING drives like the Z! After 20 years it still puts a smile on my
face every time the secondaries open.

I have never regretted my decision. But I still think those
all black GN's look badazz!

Cheers on Memorial weekend
