“Show the officer on the doll where NJ touched you”

Hold on now, as a former NJ resident I have to say when there is a blizzard or it is raining ‘sideways’ due to wind, it is a blessing to roll down the window enough to slide a CC out to the attendant and say ‘fill ‘er up with regular please’.

That’s easy, mid-late ‘70's Mazda is my guess.

Brakes stops the tires; tires stop the car.....never cheap out on either one if at all possible.

IIRC, the Previa was a simple cargo van in Japan.  The Chrysler mini van came out and caught everybody flatfooted.  Toyota, wanting to get in the game, just took their cargo van and added some seats.  I have seen these with 300K miles on original motor and trans, a very stout unit indeed.

I can recall the high pitched whine they would make; unmistakeable....

David, to make that FC truly safe to drive would take thousands of dollars and weeks of work.  I understand it is a story for your work, but that wreck is dangerous AF.  If you get it running would you loan it to your Mom to go on vacation with it?  Don’t think so..........

Dodge Colt was a mitsu as I recall and it had a sticker that claimed it had a “MCA Jet” engine under the hood. They were a decent car for the money.

I had an ‘86 or ‘87 Mighty Max Sport; cost about $7100 brand new. At the time, toyota p/u were next to impossible to get, Ranger only had a 2.0L base engine IIRC. The Mitsu had a 7' bed, alloy wheels, 2.5L engine, 5sp m/t and a couple stripes...ran just like a period Toyota, you would be hard pressed to tell the…

Ali be playin’ some Stax/Volt Memphis soul...I approve.

One of my brothers has a Gold Wing and annually takes it from Texas to Sturgis (riding, not hauling it the whole way). If you take long trips and want to be fairly comfortable, you could do a lot worse. Not my cup of tea but I can see and appreciate it for what it is.  NP

But wasn’t the 351 Cleveland the high HP engine compared to the Windsor?  I understand this was a seriously “worked over” engine.

Wow, that attendant went from being an attendant to Usain Bolt very quickly...It could be a new coaching tool; “Ok, today you will run a “10 flat 100, when the starter gun sounds I will be aiming this flamethrower at your butt”.  

That one photo kills me, who (FFS) would take a $80K Jeep into the woods to be scratched up....more money than sense?

Hey there, I resemble that remark...!

I heard/read the same analogy decades ago regarding the Golden Gate and the Chesapeake Bay-Tunnel Bridge. All three are correct, it’s just the American scale is so much larger.

Wow, that is pretty good density from the way that map looks; well done.

It is w/o doubt the best Jeep he has ever had (no rust is huge).....

The Good Rats “We’re takin’ it to Detroit”....yes I am old, but still rockin’...
