Sam Strano has been super helpful with my Camaro too.  It'll be ready for some CAM fun soon.

Oh yeah that Civic is hot! 
 

I just realized that I'm not sure what the car is next to it. It's not a Lincoln. I thought it was a Mirada, but that's not it either.

Looks like an early-'80s Chrysler Imperial to me. (More pics on one here.)
