My wife and I had our first date in my first '85 GL.  A 2 for 1 Happy Hour,
then a $4 bottle of red wine, a quick run through Burger King drive-thru,
and a drive-in movie double feature.

Nothing but class all the way.  I got quite lucky--beautiful, cool lady with
amazingly low standards.  While rare, they are out there...
