Yep! That's two of my favorite things right there, my 1982 Trans Am and my Corgi! Sadly, it's only out of the garage in the summer - it's not a winter car here in Washington. I love to drive it, but I totally admit, the daily is the Volvo. ;)

Oh man, it would be Riley, I'd look pretty lousy in a mullet! I couldn't pull it off like he could, I bet!

Yeah, I adore your car... I had a chance to buy a Jaguar here that someone was selling but they'd well -- er, pulled the engine and dropped a 350 block into it, I can't remember the model. The owner was telling me that in the end it was way less expensive to do that than repair the engine. I loved it, it was spotless inside (not as pretty as yours though, I love the body style of yours) but couldn't justify owning four cars and still having nothing to pull the horse trailer with, sadly.

You know, I've noticed that about European cars - I had a Saab and a Peugeot before the Volvo, and both of them drive like trucks, as far as steering goes, but really smooth once it's on the highway. Great touring cars, all three, for driving long distances on straightaways.

The Am, well, it drives like a big boat, haha, nothing dainty about it. Riley sits on the passenger seat in his seat belt, usually with his sunglasses on, too. Goof. ;) And yep, people who see him usually do a double take!
