Call it Petty Blue and sell it to Richard. At least he will have something good happening in his automotive world.

that was the color of my first car - a Ford Fairlane with a 302 dropped in it, and big, fat tires on the back....I love that color!

^^^^^
Ed that is the same reason for me...here is why I love it...memories of this car...ok, in the spirit of FULL disclosure, this is NOT my car, but it is exactly like my car (save a slightly different style luggage rack) and this car has been FULLY restored to the same condition that Blue82 is in! Though it will always be a restored car that is perfect where I hope someone will keep Blue82 a fully original car in this condition!

Am I missing something? Why does everyone call James, Jim? As if you guys couldn't tell by the '80's hair in a few pictures, he's got at least one foot still in the '80's! No big deal though, i've been trying to feed my need for '80's hair metal for a while. I've been listening to Def Lep! James I need help!

Indeed! James is as well! Doesn't quite have the same voice though.

LOL! I answer to just about anything and have been called pretty much everything! No worries on my end. As a James/Jim I always tend to go w/ what a person signs their sig line as when calling their name. My dad was Jim, so that is why I usually go by James...

No biggie guys...whatever makes you feel good! 928 God would be the best thing to call me probably though! Maybe Demi-God behind the likes of Anderson, Roberts, and Rog...

LOL. Maybe since it's an automatic it should be called Smurfette?

It must be too progressive out there on the West Coast to see guys like this. But here on the Old Coast, where we are apparently far more retro, you can still find guys like this in certain areas no problem!
