I am concerned when I see a black hood and other parts combined with paint. Makes me wonder what is being covered up? If there were repairs, the Midas special would be a better choice. Also this looks to have been used hard.

1: I mentioned this Friday to Patrick and co. but I’m really, really, really happy you’re posting/writing/sharing motorcycle articles here. And the variety of stuff you post. Please, please keep it up.

Too much patina?

There was a shed on the property next to our house. A contractor was clearing the property in prep for a new home, and when he tore down the shed, in addition to scattering an almost infinite number of rodents, he discovered a basketcase Norton Commando.

And, this is the philosophy of all my heroes...

No dash lights means no CEL to keep you from passing emissions. Perfect!

“dash lights don’t work”

Hey man, I have no horse in this fight.

I’m pretty sure tommyvcm meant when money is no object.

But being a tool made for Jalops, nobody will want to pay for it.

Now you’ve sent me down the rabbit hole. I’m doing inflation stats on the old tercel 4x4 wagons. $9,588 in 1987 is roughly 21k in 2019 money. Would I buy a new 4x4 tercel wagon for 21k today? YOU BET.

“but to get to all of them you have to climb up to 7,800 rpm. Hope you don’t suffer from nosebleeds.”

Somebody needs to buy one and give it a “safari rally” makeover.

I’d agree with you here. If it’s between an Impreza and a Corolla, you’re not looking for something to give you the fizz. Just looking to get there. Both will do that just fine. The Corolla will bore you to death, but the Impreza will only be a bit better; you’ll be mostly dead. But, mostly dead is still slightly…

Senior year in high school I wanted a nice car for prom. I went down to Selinsgrove Ford, where my family had gotten cars and service since I was little. I spoke to the owner Todd and told him I wanted a car for Prom, knew it was a long shot, but could I rent a car from him for Prom night.

My current car.

I will post mine from the other side of the equation.

Well...

Literally last weekend.
