They are too new and they have a stigma associated with them.

I ment Blurple... Blue purple
Oh, here's a mostly current picture of the interior. The steering wheel is now black though. If anyone has a lead on a cheap set of 8" wide snowflakes or a black and gold steering wheel, I'd be interested.
No, I bought a 1981 Trans Am Black and Gold Special Edition Turbo... but it was a giant plurple mess when I got it. One car. Check out the build thread, this one goes back to March of last year http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/tag/emma
It was only a 10 mile round trip a day. So, one gallon per day I could afford.
Turned 78
Started life as a 1981 Trans Am Special Edition Turbo, over the years it got trashed by previous owners. When I bought the car, it had a Chevy 350 in it, the body was mostly rust free but had a bunch of dents, and the interior was practically non existent. I built and installed a 1973 Pontiac 400 in place of the 350.…
You find ways. I tried to put $20 a week in the tank.

Gave up. Car went to the mechanics this morning.
Bought this off Craigslist, daily drove it, and restored it on a minimum wage budget for the last two years.
Luckily the car has been out of our hands for about a year now.
When it worked, it was a good truck... Just look at the picture (the most off roasting it ever did perpendicular to a 75 foot drop off). It just ate transmissions (two were replaced within 20,000) and something would always go wrong just as we left for a road trip. Things like the tail gate latch imploding, dash…
The car was sold after giving us too many headaches (mainly the entire drive train).
It would be wonderful if they recalled the gauges in mid 2000s GM cars that had a habit of being wrong. I'm sorry, but I'm not going 200mph. Also, this truck (2004 Trail Blazer) needed a new engine, transmission, and rear end way before it even hit 80,000 miles for no apparent reason.
Why thank you, here's the build thread if you're interested: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/tag/emma
Obvious answer is obvious. Can you see some well respected British man or woman driving one? No. http://m.ebay.com/itm/2515725923…
Something something bring Pontiac back something.
2007?! That's almost 30 years later! I must know more!
