Default January 07 Feature: Roger Poirier's GTO

Our January '07 Feature ride is Roger Poirier's 69 GTO. It's a great car with a great story. Thanks for the write up, Roger. Knowing the full story only makes the car stand out that much more.

Default Happy new year

I just read your story and viewed your photos.. Just a nice story about just what efforts a man will go through in order to reach a goal.. I often feel like Im not getting my car exactly where I want it, and I get discouraged.. A story such as yours reinforces my commitment, no matter how impossible it appears, to go ahead.. I also love these cars and all they represent.. Its not the "finished car", thats so important as to the journey and perseverence it takes to keep going.. My best wishes to your family. I also have a young son,devin 13, and I know that he too will continue on with the journey.. phil

Congrats Roger for keeping your vision alive and for not compromizing through it all... Your car is beautiful and your son is very lucky to have a Dad like you!
