I learned to drive in 1968 at the age of 12, bouncing around in a barely post-war Jeep on a farm on the east end of Long Island :). There were people who put external mirrors on their cars, but mostly that was for people with eye issues (my aunt had them on her car as she only saw out of one eye) or ones who bought an…

Chevette Scooters had an optional back seat. Most cars of that era did not have outside mirrors on the passenger side. I started driving legally in 1972, and no car I owned had them until I bought my first new car out of college, a 1978 Honda Accord.

My dad had a silver Chevette 2 door with black vinyl trim and no A/C. He moved to Florida and the windows were never closed again lest it get to Bessemer furnace temperatures inside. My sister had that rarer than rare Chevette, the Chevette diesel.

I owned a Dauphine when I was younger; I had a ‘64 Corvair in high school and was used to the rear engine type of car. I thought that a water cooled car would alleviate some of the issues I had in the Corvair - I was seriously wrong. First, the Dauphine was slow, like “oh my god I am going to die merging onto the…

That is not good looking; hopefully it will look a little less ugly in person.

That’s only a 4 hour drive away... bring some US plates and drive right across the border...

It’s about time a manufacturer did this. TireRack is probably hoping that this doesn’t catch on though.

First choice - leave it the hell alone, put it on a boat and take my money!

That depends on your state, we can get plates for some crazy things in the backwoods of NH. The trick is getting it into the country.

I would buy it (even if I have owned a Fuego and a Dauphine).

I will watch the show particularly for Sabine Schmitz; I so want to take a drive around the Ring with her.

Many Kawis of that era had a hinge in the frame. I’ve rode a friend’s H2 back in the day and my ex brother-in-law had a ‘77 KZ1000 - they both had that same feeling going into a sweeper of the frame’s ass end sawing back and forth. Both were fun in a straight line and I think the KZ’s brakes were a little better, but…

My ex brother in law had a pewter 91 hardtop. it was very understated and a lot of fun at that time. I have to admit a fondness for this generation of Firebirds even if they were appallingly put-together. NP

You know this guy is just going to end up with more people attempting to leave bodily fluids on the car just because of the way the Internet works.

It would seem to be a much sturdier thing than an Equinox. My guess is that one or more of the weight/motor/emissions/safety doesn’t line up for the north american market.

I’ve owned 2 Citroëns - a DS and a SM. I do love them, but this GS is too far gone. I’d rather take the money I’d put into this and restore a DS. Sadly, a CP.

Back in 1979, I was riding home from work late one night when a bunch of guys in a car flew past and fired 3 or 4 beer bottles at me. One hit me square on the head and one hit the handlebars, smashing into my lap (luckily I was wearing my full face helmet and leathers). I stopped at our local police station to report…

Yes! Please Volvo make this as I cannot find a P1800ES that’s either not a complete clapped-out rust bucket or a clean one that costs the earth.

Wow, that is a survivor - it’s amazing someone hadn’t tarted it up. I’ve never been that big into Japanese cars, but that was a decent time for them; too bad so few unmolested models remain else I might be tempted!

That’s nothing new for sure. Back in the 60s my grandparents lived in Manhattan, and when they needed a car they just rented one from the Hertz location near their apartment. That’s probably still the cheapest way to go, though you have more choices these days (like Zipcar for example).
