I never really understood the popularity of these cars. My Father even bought one, which was very strange as he had always owned Buicks, and went back to Buicks after giving his Cutlass to my son, who drove it for a couple of years.

I took a trip several years ago and spent 14 nights in 14 different Airbnb’s. For the most part, the hosts left me alone after showing me the room and amenities. In some cases, I never saw the host. On the other hand, I have stayed at a lot of cheap motels, and have been woken up at all hours by traveling schools…

Here’s an idea. Get a vehicle that gets a bit better gas mileage. Use the extra money to book an Airbnb each night. If you are careful, you can get one for less than $50 a night, you meet really interesting people and you don’t have to bath in truck stops.

Apparently there is a market for stuff like this.

Born in 1948. Can’t think of a single car from that ere that I would want to have right now.

The best protection against this happening is to keep a spare one on hand. Bought two the last time around, and still have the spare several years later. 

Usually I am a defender of old British cars. I love them, and am president of the local English Car Club.

The rotary engine NEEDS to hit the red line every once in a while. Centrifugal force helps keep the seals in place. (The manual that came with my RX7 specifically tells me to do this.) But, they sold an awful lot of these cars with automatic transmissions. How many times does one hit the redline with an automatic?…

Voted NP simply because I love that little engine. I first drove one in my Grandmother’s ‘61 Skylark and am currently installing a 4.6 version in my TR8.

So I am 73 years old in a few days, I eat a LOT of fast foods, and I have NEVER had this problem.

I drove “team” for many years. It was hard enough sleeping when the other guy was driving. I can’t imagine sleeping when a computer is driving. 

No Dice because of those stupid eyelash decals. 

So, the Russians have made the ugliest luxury car (Rolls Royce) available even uglier.

What the hell is wrong with people? Stupid stories like this seem to pop up every day. Do these people think that there will be no recourse for their actions? 

About 8 years ago a friend of mine saw one of these for sale on a lady’s front lawn. She told him that no one could get it to run properly, and he could have it for $500. He bought it, fixed it, drove it for a while and still does now and then.

Been buying and driving cars for 57 years now. Two things that are at the BOTTOM of my list of concerns when buying a car are fuel economy and perceived safety.

At first, this price seems off the wall. But, consider what a new car in this condition would cost, and most new cars are not cool at all. I would love to drive around in this, and to me it is well worth the price.

I drive a Grand Cherokee Hemi and an RX7 FC. I am in the process of rebuilding a TR8.

British sports cars leak oil because they are oid. One which had been carefully maintained over the years leaks minimal oil.

Back in the day, there was one of these running around t0wn with a 283 Chevy under the hood. I think a 327 followed. It was a stormer, for sure.
