I bought my first Miata (a ‘91) in mid-1999, and loved it. It was the first car I’d ever owned that, at its cornering limits, would start breaking traction at the rear first. It did that stock.

I think so. Most people associate Miatas with secretaries and gay men. :p

My parents had one of these, and I got quite a bit of seat time in it during my HS years.

But did it pass the squirrel test?

I learned this car existed while watching Midsomer Murders on PBS.  I rather like them.

I had a 1980 Cutlass Brougham.  It had a 2-bbl 260 under the hood, and did about 15 mpg on the freeway.  And it did 0-60.... eventually.

Around the time I got my driver’s license in early 1984, one of the cars we had was a 1976 Mercury Grand Marquis 2-door. It was sort of related to the Mark V in your lead pic, inasmuch as both were ginormous 2-door sedans built by FoMoCo and had big, thirsty big-block V8's under the hood.

The last thing we need is a rider high-siding into a building front and dying of COVID-19.

I had a 1980 Olds Cutlass with vacuum-actuated climate control. I just loved it on a summer day when I’d give it the gas (not even full throttle, maybe half) and it would go from A/C to defrost until I let off.

This is a very nice example of a car nobody gave a damn about when it was new. And that makes me smile.

In these situations I loosen the bolts with a wrench or breaker bar. I’m not using the drill to break them loose.

I don’t have kids anyway, so this isn’t an issue for me. :)

I have never built a charcuterie house. I keep eating the building materials and end up with not even enough to build a charcuterie lean-to.

So you don’t accept her weak-ass ‘pology?

Who the hell does she think she is.... Gavin Newsom?

Yup, give or take about fifty!

I do the same with a cordless drill.

6. Buy a headlamp

White glue also works for this purpose.

Even accounting for how crazy the market for Vanagons has gotten, asking $23K for this one is its own breed of insanity.  ND.
