Those are surprisingly nice rims on a 323! :D Cool little car, lightweight and fun.
Yeah, a Cutlass is going to be a boat to drive. It will be pretty plush and quiet... but terribly impractical for what you were aiming for.
Too bad it wasn't an Alero. I like the styling of those. Ah well. Can we talk about your potential project car now? I've been aiming to work on mine all summer, but work and house projects have been keeping me from the garage.
