    For the Omega fans. C'mon, there's gotta be one or two out there! Anyone? Anyone?

    Pics taken in the garage. Probably because car is not running properly.

    Pictures might be recent, not from 2007. I always find it's a PITA to reset the date on my camera (I still have a camera) every time the frickin' battery dies! :mad: So I just leave it be. Then again, they may actually be from 2007 since the tag on the license is from '04. Who knows? :huh:

    Its odd that so many low Mileage Omega's are showing up, you don't see the other models Citation (one of the stupidest names for a car ever why would you name your car after a traffic ticket?) Phoenix, or Skylark?

    Starts the auction at $5,000.
    He might as well have started it at $1,000,000. Same result.

    Anyone notice the instrument panel? I don't think I've seen that one before. I believe all the X-bodies got new IP's for '84. except maybe the Phoenix. (?)

    The word "citation" has more than one meaning.

    Look at the first two definitions here:

    I understand that the word has more than one Meaning (like a lot of English words) but just like the Ford Probe I tend to think of it in the wrong way.

    I bought a lot of cars and trucks back at our local Ford dealership. I feel I was probed more than once!

    According to those dictionary notes citation mostly means you're in trouble, go to the office.
    No matter how many meanings a word has most people go by the most common description.

    Yeah. Just like when Chebby tried selling the Nova in Mexico. For those of you saying "HUH?" during your first cuppa Joe, 'Nova' in Mexico means "no go (no vamonos)."
