Pretty sure you meant to respond to someone else; I didn’t comment on painted interior.

I have driven a Chevy Sprint all up and down CA and had no problem keeping up with traffic on highway 5. I don’t remember what the top speed was but it was defenitely higher than 70. In fact that Chevy Sprint was a really fun car to hon. It was pretty much the Mini Cooper reborn.

I don’t doubt, but of them all I’m pretty sure the Yugo was the only one that actually had a sticker on the dash telling you to keep it under 55.

The fuel tank in most cars is under the rear passenger seats, so it doesn’t rupture if the car gets hit from behind.

Having been and driven in Bosnia-Herzogovina which is part of the Former Yugoslavia you will rarely get a car like this up to 55MPH. Nothing but mountains and winding roads. Some areas are more wide open in Croatia.

FTFY. You’re welcome.

My reticence is driven by the feeling that this is the worst time in years to buy any used car. Also, there’s the whole divorce thing to consider, should I think about bringing home another stray.

Okay, let’s just put this on par with other convertibles that are in the same shouting distance: You could get into a high-ish mileage S2000. There are some good Boxsters in this territory. A near-new Miata would be on the table here. You could do a C5 Corvette without a top, if you’re into that sort of thing. (Or, if…

Buy it. Drive and enjoy it for a few years and sell it, you’ll probably break even.

Hardtop wagons, my favorite machines on Earth. I'd take a Mercury, please.

In high school I had an ‘88 Lebaron Conv.(don’t judge), I can honestly say that I fit 9 people in that comparatively small car (top down, December, in NJ) driving from one party to another. What I’m saying is don’t underestimate a high school/college students tolerance for being uncomfortable if there is more booze…

I feel like the B-52's would mandate that this car have fins as big as a whale.

impressive, copy or not it’s still extremely hard to make that happen in practice
