These cars signaled that fun was back. Hard to state the effect of seeing these on the streets after essentially a decade of no new convertibles and depressing HP ratings.

Actually, for a couple of years there, people did breakdance all over the place, especially public areas where people naturally gathered. Usually it was a piece of cardboard though. And Micheal Jackson imitators were everywhere too during this brief era.

Except no one ever says,

It makes them less worth saving because if any significant repair or any restoration is needed it becomes economically unviable and you say, "Screw it, I could just get a Miata." and off to the scrap yard it goes.

It's going to be a sad future where the only cars left on the road are Miatas because everyone who almost bought something else decided they could just buy a Miata for less than that.

I figured the why was because he was a jerk who didn't think the rules applied to him.

Judging from the thread yesterday, I was sure the 1994-2004 Mustangs were going to make the list. Phew! I can continue in anonymous slowiness with conspicuous implied fastishness.

This reinforces my belief that I need a 1930's truck.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something here, it sounds like the lazerz excite the phosphorus material, which in turn gives off the light you see shooting out of the headlight - you're not getting zapped with direct laser light from a passing BMW so fears of blindness and getting cut in half are probably a little…

Yeah, last time I went, I did the same thing. It didn't take me long to get what I came for so I spent a good bit of time wandering up and down each aisle, especially the rows over by the trucks where they put all the old and weird stuff.

That's my personal favorite! I'm trying to find a good excuse to hit the one in Birmingham while the weather is just right.

Are we sure that wasn't Ricky Bobby? 'Cause it sure sounded like him.

I wonder if they have any of those steering wheels down at the parts counter at my local Qvale dealer? That would look good in my Mustang and I'm in need of a new wheel.

Oh crap! I assumed they were number one and stopped clicking next when I got to the Bimmer.

Yes, 944 were never known for their handling and the Turbos were totally not among the worlds fastest production cars of their era at all. Yugos would smoke them in all facets.

Those portable towers were everywhere here after the T-Town tornado. There was one in the parking lot at work for a good while.

Yes I will.

Tornado Mustang is mildly impressed.

I voted CP, not because it isn't awesome but because I'm still having trouble accepting that people are asking and getting real money for mid to late 70's iron.

Coffee ice cream - the got me down to a t.
