As a car guy it pains me to say that the smartest thing GM did was not produce this car. Ditto to Nissan.

I was interested in a 124 Spider in the late 1960s but it was way more expensive than an equally (un)reliable MGB. Score to date: MGB 2, Fiat 124 0.

Counterpoint, R33 is the best one!

You have to show that your car is conform to EU regulations. If you can’t do that, for example since the car was never sold somewere in the EU, you still have the way to make a full inspektion (Vollabnahme). That will cost you about 1-2000$, but with some modifications it should be able to bring about any card to…

eh only ones i caught being directly accused were the dutch and the germans... he probably accused belgium too... but anyone else.. well.. if he did i missed it...

The last generation (white) looked fine, the beak was tamed into a perfectly fine grill. It was the one before that (black) which was godawful ugly, and not just the grill, either.

Painting the grill did wonders for the look, whether it was color-matched or color-contrasted.

Are you qualified to deem other opinions unqualified?

I was gonna say... “where we are driving, we don’t need speed limits”

5 lines isn’t a number, duh

I still daily my first car, a 1993 SSE as well as a 2001 SSEi (that’s regularly hooned I might add).

it’s FWD w/the straight 5 cylinder, these are pretty bullet proof and cheap to maintain, certainly not the money pit that everything after and including the A4 has been

I’ve driven the fixed cars, and the difference is negligible. Maybe a tad bit less responsive. Mileage I believe dropped by a few. If you liked the way they drive before, you’ll still like the way they drive.

Google these, they sell for $12-$15k all the time. It has nothing to do with being contrarian. It’s about finding a car desirable, and knowing what the market demands for said car.

It’s like your first car. Liking your first car is normal. Besides I’m sure it’s a competent vehicle.

You rang?

Story/confession time: A few weeks after a young Shop Teacher received his freshly minted driver’s license, my family went on a vacation. This was exceedingly rare for my family, and for the first time ever I was allowed to bring a friend. We went to visit an old friend of my dad’s and stay in his cabin in the woods…

This is a horrific mess. The signature details of the exterior are all busy textures, formless blobs, and horror vacui filler. The soft, sloped snout and large-radius headlights scream “minivan,” and the single wrap-around taillight screams “import minivan.”
