Had is more accurate- the Barrauda was followed by an Aries K station wagon, Pacer, Chevette, and Dodge Shadow, not necessarily in that order. But yes, I am definitely looking for another Barracuda.
Yes family life has a way of doing that to you sometimes. It took me 22 years to get back into it (but I kept the car during that time).
Cudas seem to come up here now and again and there's a lot of very knowledgeable people here to help steer you in the right direction if need be. Good luck in your quest!
