rocco's

I once had a nice one. that was in process of getting fixed.. then the 
parking brake failed.. mushed rear quarter

Then an idiot swerved into the ONCOMING traffic lane(7lanes total) to hit 
me from behind in the driver front quarter bending the car beyond repair
right side was nearly an inch longer than passenger side.

So now I'm looking for a nice car.. If I could find a nice one with a 
blown motor /tranny I'd prolly buy it (cheaper), but I will tell you this. 
I want an 88 and for the kind of money I'm talking I want EVERYthing to work. and 
the DASH to be right. No freaking blinking shift light. and all the 
gaugues where they are SUPPOSED to be.... Eurobumpers and lights are much 
preferred.
