I whole heartedly agree with you. My 93 has 225K on it and runs like a top, great car to drive if your feeling down because it will put a smile on you face. I've had it for 12 years and paid $3500 for it.

Thanks Thumper, I was feeling left out. The 82 Special Edition was a hatch as well.

How can anyone modify a classic Vincent like that? Looks sweet but I don't know about that.

I had an 84 and the only mechanical problem I had with it was the stupid clips that held the shift cables to the transaxle popping out, kept spares in the console. I got hit in mine when a drunk crossed the centerline, she took out the drivers side as I headed for the ditch when I saw her coming, a sign took out the passenger side, a telephone pole took out the nose and a pick-up that was also heading for the ditch to avoid her wiped out the back end. They fixed it, only original body part was the roof. Went to see it in the shop at the Pontiac dealership and it looked like a sand rail with the panels removed.

My mom's Uncle Art had one of those. My mom and her family were originally from the Northern part of Minnesota and they pretty much all relocated to North West Indiana and Uncle Art lived in East Chicago Indiana and he had one in the garage and would drive it in the winter. My dad helped him restore it over the course of a year, my dad was a cabinet maker and a pattern template make for General American Tank Car and made a new wooden frame for it to replace the old one that had started to rot. This was back in the late 60's. I remember going for rides in it. Wow, old memories.

And how many years were in between those things and what did they do to the environment when they went the way of the Dodo?

Well, that explains a lot. Where were you 45 years ago with this information?

Qwin, You sound like a very angry union guy. Why are you so mad at the world and companies that employ people. The unions support the politicians that are causing all of this. If that makes you angry maybe think for yourself and vote a little different, vote for your employer not your union. Don't be a sheeple.

Where's all the juice to charge these cars going to come from? They want to eliminate the power plants. Have you read any of the reports about the toxic crap in solar panels and wind farms? Going from the frying pan to the fire is all that is happening here, the grid also can't handle what we have now. The cost to upgrade will get passed down and it will cost more for the consumer to charge that new EV, also think of all the trees cut down for new poles. Where will the spotted owls nest?

I remember back in the late 70's when I was in high school you couldn't give a Mopar away, went and looked at a 72 challenger with a 440 six pack and the guy was asking $1000 for it and couldn't even get it started so I wound up buying a 74 Z28 instead.

I tell my kids all the time "just because you have 4WD or AWD and can take off easier than others when you hit the brakes you're just like everyone else" something to live by. They never would've survived the 70s.

From what I've been told by a mechanic friend of mine who is also a boat nut that newer oils are designed to support catalytic convertors and they have a low zinc rate which is hard on bearings because that zinc actually aids the bearing slickness. He uses Rotella with zinc in everything he owns without a convertor and has no problems with it. Just what I've been told, I'm no engineer or anything but I do work in the oil industry.

Looks almost identical to my 93. Love my little Miata, although my wife was mad at me when I got it. It had been sitting on a lot near our house for a little over a year and we were on our way home from a restaurant and I said see that little red Miata over there and she said yes and I replied "I want it" and she just said oh, so to me oh was not no so the next day I bought it. She was mad at me until the next weekend when I finally got her in it and after that she loved it and always wants to go out in it. Glad I got it, always brings a smile to your face.

I still want one. There are some people out there that are the "purist" type that are going to nit pick the C-8 to death because it is rear mid engine and not a front mid engine anymore. Get over it, Zora started pushing for a rear mid engine Corvette back around the time I was born, and was till pushing for it when he retired in 75. Do I love my C-3? Yes, and I would love to have a C-8 to park next to it. All I have to do is get rid of my wife.

This is what happens when people with way to much money spend time cut off from the world. When they come out they go absolutely mad.

So, what had happened to the Toyota that it was declared totaled? That would also be nice to know.
