    I believe I now have motivation to build a tube frame for my old unibodied Maserati Biturbo.

    The Yugo was such a horrible car, the absolutely best feature was the ginormous reverse lights, bolted on as an afterthought. If the engine hadnt self destructed when the timing belt broke, I would still drive it just for the novelty. Ohh, and it was free...

    Is there not one (1) (less than 2) person (s) at Californias dmv that has thought (using brain), that this idea (brain puke) is actually not such a great idea (IS a brain puke). ??? Easier way to get rid of $700; send it to me instead.

    The plus side of Michigan vehicles, You never have to pay to let it rust away...

    First car was a 66 Chevelle 300 sedan. That car represented independence & an immovable object. UNLESS, it was fed a steady diet of 30 weight motor oil, dexton trans fluid, $$$ for repairs, bondo, parts, of course gasoline.

    Rube Goldberg heartily endorses the blinker fluid system for all wheeled vehicles; human, steam, gasoline, diesel, electric, or spring powered.

The rear wheels were keyed to the same shaft; NO differential ! Icy roads + crowned road = ass end in the ditch. 5 of us with no seatbelts probably was another reason, Dad

    Bought a 69 Chevelle in Jacksonville FLA in 1976 from the local Rent A Wreck dealer. Drove it around Jax & to Philly and back. Ended up leaving my $800. dollar investment in Fla once I bought a 66 Chevelle SS and drove it back to Philly instead. I still miss that car...

    I only have an 85 Biturbo remaining in inventory after 40 years of working on other peoples junkmobiles. Due to my MS, it will most likely be the last car that I “build” in my life. Have fun old wrenchers. It was always about the challenge of “man vs machine”. Father Time just got in the way

    So I paid $500 for the Vue, $200 more, tags, title, registration & tag. The best used car I ever owned, great mileage, seat warmers even. Alas, no abs on the Vue. No other cars in the way, yes, I was cruising. The Vue skidded, then slewed right when I got back off the brake. The light pole never moved out of my Vues

    No sane person owns and drives a Maserati as their primary modus transportatus. Real Maseratistas are part masochistic and part lover of the Italian mistress, no matter how bad she treats you, the ride is SOOOO much fun. You keep going back for more. Oh, and they own something else for daily non drama driving.
