      Your wife rides in it??...Mine just wants to drive it!!!, take it to work, show off, etc...I cant fit all the kids in there, so im stuck with the lt1 wagon...lol...Im gonna have to make my wagon look cooler, and when she gets home from working in the middle of the night, then maybe I can take the cutlass for a drive!..lol

      I will let you know how it goes...my biggest thought is rolling with 18's and seeing the ugly drum in back.

      It's not like I don't make the offer for her to drive it. She's about 5'3", so she has a bit of trouble reaching the pedals and seeing over the steering wheel at the same time. And it certainly has more power than what she's used to. The torque on that 455 in just sick. I let her drive my Titan once and it scared her to death (and that's with adjustable pedals and seat)! Yeah, I get the ugly drum syndrome...and I can't bring myself to use one of those disc-looking covers. That's like sticking on that plastic chrome trim!

      My ride: '71 Buick Riviera named "Delilah"...because she drains me of energy and I had hair when I bought her...

      LOL...my wife is 4'11" bout 108, however she has a lead foot, and loves cars, as long as they look cool..lol She used to race my Old showcar Olds Alero, and while it didnt have a ton of power, it was modded much faster then stock...so I guess I have to build the interior of the Cutlass to match us both as Im 6'..lol. I had thought about picking up a different engine to bolt in just for the fun factor, and a Buick, Poncho, and Caddy are all for sale in my area that have been built up a bit...for a cheap price its pretty hard to pass up sometimes...lol
