Goddangit yes!
The comedy of it all is claiming that the 25-year exemption for emissions and safety regulations is to keep unsafe, “dirty” cars out.
Ha! I used to ride around in the passenger footwell of my Gramp’s ‘82 Suburban. Not sure of your age but growing up in the 70s and 80s was awesome, most of our modern conveniences without having to live like something was going to break me if I looked at it funny .
Basically, the same places one might go in the event of a tornado.
As I’m inclined to claim, this old girl is my 1931 Ford Model A. I drive her as many chances as I get which, in the South, is quite a lot. I started driving it when I was 16 and later on it spent 2 years as my only car. Whenever Doug used to inquire what he should buy and live with, I never hesitated to tell him to…
I rented one of these a couple of years ago. Your assessment is spot-on, it was a great highway cruiser. Nice sound system, good ride, quiet (aside from tire thump over expansion joints) and that glorious (albeit lame-sounding) turbo six. That thing went 60 to felony charge speed in a blink.
You know the Supra is overpriced and overhyped when you can buy an NSX for less than half the price, and the NSX is arguably way cooler and more historically significant.
A certain movie came out in 2001 and ruined the market. A sequel did the same thing to 240SXs a few years later.
I coudl barely see over the wheel and I’m parking Cadillacs!
Fuck crossovers. Long live the wagon.
Unpopular opinion but I really like the look of the 996. Those wheels really clean it up though, you’re 100% right about the stock wheels sucking. I actually had a dream about driving a 996 911 Turbo a few days ago and it was one of the best dreams I’ve had in a while.
Collectors tend to go after cars that were popular in their youth. The generation that remembers the older cars are dying off. The next generation of rich people are is going after newer stuff. Just look at the prices on the 80s and 90s supercars.
