We went over to Covington GA , Walker Harris Chrysler dealer yesterday to test drive a new vehicle we are hoping to seal the deal on real soon. I don't want to let the Cat out of the bag as to what it is until the deal is sealed . However it is neither a Kat or a PT. Gordon and Annie Karns joined us. The dealer had a GT Cruiser there and Gordon got them to let us drive it. This little car really Rock and Rolls. I could not believe how quick this thing is with a turbo. Especially with Gordon lead foot Karns at the wheel. They don't call him SuperKat for nothing. I was ready to but two new vehicles at that point, but Purple Lady really wants a the PT Convertible so I guess we will have to wait another year or so on the PT. But the GT really fired me up so hopefully the covert will be avialable sonner than later. This thing is nearly as much fun to drive as a Kat. I hope to be posting very soon confirming our upcoming new purchase. I am fired up about it as well. It is something I have always wanted and it will compliment our Kat very nicely.

Rich was never good about keeping secrets. I'll let him tell you more about our upcoming purchase after we order it. Test driving the GT got me even more anxious to get the Turbo version of the PT convertible when it comes out. I think it will be a nice accessory to our Kat. Maybe then I could even race with Ed.

Linda - STOP,,,,haven't you heard, Ed is installing a twin-turbo modification to his PT. You might want to start a early search for gears and NOS system to compete against Ed.

Marty has promised my some used parts in the near future. He said they are track tested, too. I can't wait.

I have even thought about trading my Jeep on the Dream Edition #2 PT (Orange Pearl).BTW, we are doing a Toys for Tots shopping trip with the PTers on Friday night the 22nd at KB Toys, Perimeter Mall at 9 PM if you and Purple Lady would like to join.

Saw a road test. 2.5 seconds faster 0-60 time. As fast as a LT1 Z28 camaro 0-60

Rich and Linda are right on the mark, that GT was a blast. I was wondering why it's called a GT? That is not a typical Chrysler designation from my limited experience. We are all here waiting for the turbo convertible. I am in the same boat as Blue kat, we are seriously considering the Dream Cruiser 2 in the interim. Something about that color with a turbo; gotta be hot! Gordon
