Looks like I'll be getting a new car in December.

A guy at my local Chevron has a 1995 Chevy Caprice B4U. Back like half a year ago I noticed it being the same color as mine and got to talking. He was thinking of selling and I told him I was interested. So whenever I get my gas and lotto tickets we yap a little.
Yesterday I needed a bit of fuel to do another Sea Foam treatment and replace the EGR to see if this will help her pass smog. Dude walks out and asks if I was still interested? Told him "yup" and I asked how much "$3K with 160K miles". $500 more than I paid for my '94 in 2002 and half the mileage. She might be the last one. Unless a 2014-16 SS comes down into my price range (covid screwed up that up and they've been back up to sticker price).
I figure if my '94 doesn't pass smog I got my parts car. It's too bad both cars has similar damage on the same side (passenger front). Ideally I find a front clip for the '95 and fix her up. Not as a "donk". Yosh don't roll like that. Maybe little lowered and playing Peter Gunn Theme on loop?

I don't know if you can buy ethanol free gas in Kalifornia, but we can buy premium ethanol free here. I think for older cars that's a plus because ethanol is hard on seals, lines, and electric fuel pumps. I use it exclusively in my 88 Toyota 4wd pickup.
Speaking of Peter Gunn- you can see the series on Prime. It's great 1960s entertainment. Cool cars, bad guys with snub nose 38s, and the women all in skirts with pointy lift-and-separate bras.
They put ethanol to ruin gas motors to make us go electric.
There was a run of retro shows. What was it "Aquarion"? Didn't see it but what you mentioned reminded me of it.
