Miata 1.8 or skyactive swap might be worthwhile or just go for a nice 13b.

What’s interesting is his father Mario would not and had no desire to see The Godfather. He thought it reinforced negative stereotypes but finally got to it in the 90's of even as late as 2000's.
NP Even though I'm not crazy about the color it's period correct. My favorite Benz color of the era is Tobacco brown.
I’ve been looking at a few first generation C70 convertibles. You can find them really inexpensive in the $2-4K range. Just about all of them have worn leather like that. The leather on 740, 760 seemed to be more durable
As someone wrote about the misnamed 3 Series GT and 5 Series GT, they look like your aunt Edna. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is an attractive, lean nicely balanced sport hatch. It’s a nice alternative to the bloated CUV’s.
It looks like the Griswolds pickup truck upgrade. Or some truck from Robocop.
The police department in the town I grew up in had them when they were new. Full police package with the 360 the wider slotted steelies and dog dish caps.
The first generation 96-02 Kia Sportage two door convertible had a drivers side knee airbag. Considering that it wasn't the safest vehicle I guess it helped in a crash or rollover.
Wait until those judges vote against their future spouses right to control their womanly parts or have their miscarriage investigated. They might not be too pleased about it.
She used to date of all people Jimmy Walker. Probably wanted him to shout dynomite! in the sack.
The brochure says to the young folks: This is what we did before CUV’s. We made due carrying our stuff and we survived quite well all while getting 28-30 MPG.
Or the craftsmanship of an old British Leyland employee.
I knew someone who really wanted one bad so he priced out an Impulse when it came out in 84. What changed his mind was the high insurance rate mainly because of the 2.5 mph instead of 5 mph bumpers and the vulnerability of the pop up headlights plus lumping in with other sports cars in the risk pool.
McDonald’s? The McRib would want a refund.
An “interesting four-door full-size hatchback, a class of car sadly underrepresented here in America ever since everyone decided not to buy Merkur Scorpios.” As well as the crop of decent four-door mid sized hatchbacks like the Dodge Lancer/Chrysler Lebaron GTS, first generation Toyota Camry, and the Chevrolet Malibu…
Apparently you can still see some of the burn marks on the side and I think inside the floors where the B-25 bomber crashed.
When AMC figured out that they were not getting a rotary engine they squeezed in the six by extending the center of the dashboard into the car so the number five and six cylinders fit.
Related. There is a Land Rover Freelander, 2002-03 vintage listed at a local new car dealer near me as a shopper stopper for a mere $995. It’s been listed for a few months with no takers. I guess even the “need cheep wheels” folks avoid it.
There hasn’t been a Volvo Diesel automobile here in the states since the 80’s when they sold the 240 and 740 which used a Volkswagen engine.
