Thanks! I have lots of bad ideas, the adventures just come while trying to pursue them!

With anyone else's automotive luck, I would say they could motor down Stadium without fear of repetition.

Grandpa would have much preferred a quick facetime with the grand kids then straight back to the Elks for $1 Old Style..

I'm intrigued about how you dug all of this dirt up. Receipt tracking and Facebook stalking? Not judging, I do it too.

Zero trash inside! I was super bummed not to find some commie candy wrappers or old receipts. I was really hoping for some exact dates...

Fantastic, Tom! Thanks a ton for this enlightening comment. That had not even crossed my mind. Maybe this also explains all 10 rear lugnuts bringing the stud threads with them.

That is an amazing story and a very clever method of spying. I had really wondered how access to publicly broadcast shows would be policed in such a state. Now I know!

I was really surprised to not find gum wrappers, food trash, or anything like that. And yes, my wife deserves the Nobel Prize for Tolerance of Horrible Ideas.

That's exactly the plan! I want to repair/replace the bare minimum and keep as much as possible of the existing outward appearance. Can't wait to start driving it.

That's awesome to hear! I've started cracking into the 407 and am trying to get it on the road as fast as possible...before I get distracted by something else. I have my eye on a Wartburg 353 at the local junkyard.

Hey, I just saw your comment regarding the car being a potential movie extra. That's a fantastic idea. Perhaps when I've had my fun with it here, I'll send it to hang with my junk stash in the US. They do film a lot of movies in Charleston, SC...

Thanks! Tried to do the little car justice.

That's very cool. I would love a Trabbi at some point. I had always heard it the other way around - that the Trabbi was a bit easier to live with than the Moskvich. But either way, they aren't exactly battling it out for the top step of the podium.

@Pepperalls I'm totally with you! If I were still in South Carolina and there was only one Favorit and there was no TÜV, I would've just blasted the undercarriage with square stock chromoly and home made flooring. But I watched a few videos of how it needs to be done here and for small repairs, the overlapping joints are totally doable. But for factory quality large scale repairs it would've depleted the global stocks of spot weld drill bits.

My dad had a similar mantra to yours: Ride like you're invisible. Forgoing the assumption that you're seen saved me quite a lot of road rash.

Really one of the all time best shows of platform versatility! My wife drives a 2008 with the Selecta gearbox and I love borrowing it to beat the snot out of it.

Oh wow! We would have been nearly neighbors! Definitely the Suzuki is the sensible and reliable choice.

The early ones had a four speed which no doubt would have been buzzy on the highway! Even the newer ones you are not supposed to use fifth gear under 90kph due to fifth gear being weak. I think many turn into for speeds anyway!

Danke fuer ihre Nachricht! The rust issues still persist with relatively new models. I have seen several for sale less than 10 years old with really bad structural rust. Otherwise they are totally bulletproof and - fortunately or not - due to rust, mechanical parts are very cheap and easy to find. Now you've got me thinking about doing youthful things in a Manta!

That's exactly the kind of percussive maintenance the Lada was designed to endure! I had a similar issue with the differential lock. It took a massive shock to the driveline to make it work again. Were your experiences in Canada?

Thanks! Lots of ultimately hilarious situations when you give into a place but knowing the language. I had considered keeping a memoir of everything that happens but in my progressing German. I wish I had actually done it from the beginning! Maybe it's still possible.

How cool! I can't blame you for wanting another. Though I secretly wish that mine were an Ami-6, I will never, ever sell it.

I don't regret selling any at the moment, even though I miss the idea of still having one. Example: I don't miss my particular Falcon ute but I miss the prospect of having a nice one.

I think the only part that would cross reference were the mag-style lug bolts on the Falcon Ute and the AMX!
