Yeah- This happened to my brothers friends cousins girlfriend. Another urban legend brought to you by another well-meaning idiot that also pays attention the latest threat alert.

If memory serves...........these had the first balance shafts, yes? Not bad cars, overall, with the apex coming in the mid-90's Conquest Turbo and Turbo Colt DL. I have never had a bad Mitsu product, and that has been probably 20-30 if you include demos from back in the day. We actually bought an 86 Conquest TSI and a…

Having been deafened by being in the pits at Indy and at the Milwaukee mile in the early 60's, I can testify that they were screamers, and it took everything Colin Chapman and Ford could throw at it until the inherent superiority of rear/midships design and V8 power managed to consign them to the bin. But what a…

The Pacer had rack and pinion and with the 304 was a decent driver. One of my favorite demo's from the day was a 78 Pacer Limited Wagon with leather and all the goodies. It also achieved about 12 mpg., which at 1.25 was the rough equivalent of today's gas price. I, unfortunately, was one of the overseers of the demise…

The funny thing is when they were actively traded and current models- we called them "Back-a-bookas"' to clarify, it meant whatever Bluebook said, deduct 25%.

Mr. UDMAN, you, sir, actually seem to get it. Our enthusiast community, while passionate about all things wheeled and powered, are a very small, comparably, market segment. And, every proposal I ever saw, back in the day, had to get by the Accounting Monster, who never saw a vendor they couldn't get to build their…

I think his results in what was essentially a sub-par Race Car last year speak for themselves. The Renault was only competitive in his hands, as has been amply shown by their showing this year. For some reason, he doesn't seem to get the respect a two time champion should, especially in the ongoing Ron Dennis soap…

Rube Goldberg has nothing on you.

Hey kids- it's Shooting BRAKE.

A B210 that went 300,000 miles? That should be in the Smithsonian. The Corolla and Datsun of 1975 were no better then their competition. Now, the Honda? A different story. Remember CVCC?

The three element taillights identify it as, at least an Impala. The wheel-lip moldings up the model to either a Caprice or an up-market Impala. They were new in my life, and I remember a friend got one with a 427 and a four-speed. Believe or not, it was a four-door. AH, I remember well the days of COPO and being able…

MM said it all when he commented that it was off the charts on fun to dollar. Anybody can spend $10,000 to put a 302 in an MGB or whatever, but to put an honest 160 hp in a Midget for about $1k and your own research and labor, well this guy is my hero.

I never paid much attention to Alameda when going to school in the area way back when, but due to your documentation, I am going to spend a day of my vacation checking the island out. Such automotive diversity should be a shrine, like the Virgin of Fourwheelia.

I would have to go with the Jensen. The NSU may as well be made of pure unobtainium.

Prose as elegant as the piece he praises. Thank you. Excellence must win out.

No factory T-tops on the Eldorado. Besides the mini horsepower, I believe it pulled stumps with 350-400 ft./lbs. My demos at the time would pull a 24ft. Fiberform Cuddy cabin without problem. Thank God for company credit cards, too, or most of us would have driven those fuel-miser Monza's with the "little" V8. Thanks…

THE coolest Q-ship ever!

I have always thought of station wagons and performance as an oxymoron. Much like pickups and............... However, if you've got to have a wagon, then get a WAGON. The mid-nineties Caprice or Roadmaster with an LS1 would be ideal for my purposes, and with the change I could live on a beach in Baja for six months.

When you are THE most profitable, per unit, in the industry, with so much cash laying around that you buy your former partner, advertising is superfluous.

They look marvelous, but have you ever had 10 minutes left to qualify with a Uni-Syn in hand and a lean wide open throttle? Suddenly, those are the manifestation of evil personified.
