General Comments:
I've driven many cars (Caravan, Cavalier, Neon, Civic, Golf, Taurus, Jimmy, Escort, WRX, Sierra, all friends cars), but nothing compares to the feel of my Caprice; it's like making love.
The car is my first and I love it. I don't think that I've ever loved something so much! No word of a lie I actually dream about it!
I love the way it looks, it has class not like some Honda or Toyota. Sure they may be a little better on gas, but I'll take a classic North American car over them any day.
There is more than enough power under the hood! The 305 5L V8 is surprisingly good on gas in the city. Highway driving is even better and rpm's are relatively low. The power that is kicked out of the rear wheels makes you feel like you are being pushed forward by a rocket when you mash the gas.
Inside is huge and comfortable! The power bench seats in the front feel like a sofa, not to mention the back seat as well! The trunk can fit 4-5 bodies with the spare wheel.
Currently I have a stock system in it and I do not see any reason to change it. Sound is great and the stock Bose amp in the trunk provides more than enough power.
Handling is just about what you'd expect on a large car, but it can still race around, you just need to take it a little easy on corners.
I love this car and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I laugh when I see little Hondas racing around thinking they own the streets, but when I'm driving it's a different story. This car changes you, it makes you feel like The Boss, and you've got the sound and power to back it up!
Please GM make another Caprice Classic, but keep her classy, allot of old with a little bit of new technology!

"Had to sell it because life plays tricks on you sometimes."?
What "trick" could possibly necessitate selling a 19 year old Chevy?
