Foxes, SN95s and Firebirds, oh my! (fair amount of pictures)

A roar of life, gears meshing and blood flowing
Torn vinyl barely containing excitement
An old aroma, of wistful freedom
" Is this what it's like to drive again?"
She thought, as life roared into her once again after all these years

A weekend or so ago, my friend and I decided the time was right to recreate a photograph we had taken two years prior. I had just gotten my license, and my father made good on a promise; he'd get my 79 Firebird (named Lucy by the previous owner) running for me. Little did I know it was going to be on my birthday.

Early this year I sold Lucy, and I'll admit it felt weird seeing some other guy drive off in my first car. Good news is, he's a great guy and is keeping me updated on the restoration process. A lot can happen in two years, but I'm going to spare you the cliches. ;) Let's just simplify it to life happened . I do still miss the 'bird, even if the 301 2bbl is a complete boat anchor; thankfully though, my 98 Mustang GT has filled the empty spot (with a 5 speed too!)

Here are some more pictures from this past weekend.
