Was too tired to go out (worked 19 hrs yesterday if you count the 5 hrs driving to location and back), yet am too wired on redbull to sleep right now so I thought I would start the tale of Puff the Magik Dragon. I guess it started when I was kid and saw the BLUES BROS. and fell in love w/ the myth of the cop car/ "Bluesmobile". From that point on I was destined/ doomed to own one. One night last Dec. out of the blue I decided to go on Autotrader.com and look for the car of my dreams, an ex-highway patrol supervisor's car. Not 5 minutes later I had found her, just 20 miles away. Sure she was probally overpriced but from the moment I clicked on the first pic. I knew that I would have her. The next day I called the owner and told him I would be coming to pay cash for his car as soon as I sold my 95 Saab 900. When she started immediately I handed him a bank check, we did the paperwork to transfer title and I drove off into the sunset in my dream car.

More Pics from Bat Country
She's pretty much as clean as she looks, nothing but highway miles before I got her. Backseat looks like it's never been sat in (I do have sun rotted fabric on the back pillars). Have put the hubcaps back on since these pics.
