It sounds like I am for sure, in good company. When I chose the camshaft for the engine in my car, I chose a lower 2200-5500 RPM version, rather then a couple that I could have. The mufflers - Flowmaster 50 series, 3 chamber rather then a 40 - 2 chamber (or even the Smithy's I really wanted). I even have a nice heater and a top with side curtains (not sure about heated seats yet, tho).
Of course, many, if not most of the young guys - they're driving ricers which have most of the creature comforts already built in to their rides. This means we OF's are just trying to catch up (down??)Dave W

One thing that hasn't changed, I still consider it a personal failing if I don't move first when a traffic light goes green!!
And I still have the rumpity rump cam!!

33,
I know the feeling. Got tired of waiting to finish the 34 so the wife and I bought a 06 Hemi Charger with most everything, including dual seat warmers.. Woooeee, this thing is fun
, but nothing will replace the 34.

Yeah, I actually looked at a lot of Hondas and other cars, but this Cad came up and one drive convinced me. Of course, the 1268.00 tune up that I took it to the local Cad dealer a few days later was kind of a shock, but their waiting room is nice and they have coffee and doughnuts and call me Sir.
