They are, this is not a car you’d want to roll over.

I can think of many, many things worth less than even a Series II 2+2 but yes, as far as E-types go its the least desirable one.

It is.

Its a pretty simple inline 6, but big; I’ve never understood why so many had engine swaps, difficulty in adjusting the three carbs maybe?

Not to the IRS

From your list the Mazda 2 would be the one to get, with a manual it can be pretty fun.

Drove one of those, a rental even so most definitely not the spec I’d buy and still it was pretty good even for highway driving.

So, I live in a place where this is actually a real concern, and even nowadays new cars that in other markets come with self braking systems have them disabled or not installed when they’re sold here. I’m guessing an override system would need to be put in place, mash the pedal and run over those pesky teens.

Just leave it a bit rich; we had two in regular use in my family from new up to around 2005 and I don’t recall the carbs (or anything else really) needing much adjustment. The one I have now is actually one of those two which went to be used on a farm from 2005 to about 2014, got it back after that but haven’t really…

The one I have was my mom’s and probably the first car I ever rode in; drove it a few times when I was about 17 (so the car must have been about 20 by then) and managed to get it to around 90. It is a manual though, and not the CVCC engine but I never considered it particularly slow unless it was running on 3…

I’ve got one of those little Hondas that I mean to restore, great cars, it’s crazy how difficult it is to find parts for them but hopefully if they become more “classic” the situation will improve.

Unlike today’s sealed for life bearings and zero maintenance suspensions cars of this era and all the way to the 60's used mostly faith and hope to keep oil and grease where they’re supposed to be. This means replenishment is needed frequently so many had an oil (or grease, maybe) pump right in the dash so that oil or…

The Wagoneer actually looks good; the first one I‘m willing to bet is either a Sebring or Chrysler 300 and the lack of roof is the least of its problems.

I have, and I also once had a 6'1 friend sit in the back of a Triumph GT6; now that’s cramped.

‘78 Civic, while driving it the oil plug came out and I didn´t notice (I was 16). Drove it all day like that, when I got home loads of white smoke were coming from the engine. Filled it back up, and proceeded to do over 25k more on that engine.

Nice LC by the way, drove a well weathered ‘89 a while ago, slow and eats gas.

Hasn’t worked for me but that’s maybe because of the EXTREMELY slow drivers near where I live. (Hint: If you’re holding up someone driving a Morris Minor which was already considered slow 50 years ago when it was new you could, you know, speed up just a bit.)

This looks cool but, from what I see it’s cars FOR the cars and not a gated community where people actually live, designed for car enthusiasts.

Anyone else notice this GT appears to have frames in the windows? No production GTs I know of had them. Also it appears the seatbelt is anchored to the window frame instead of the B pillar so maybe early automatic seatbelts?

I despise crossovers usually but my mom wanted one so I convinced to get a Forester XT and it’s really good actually.
