First Lt Yar, now our tires!!

It’s like a Jason Statham movie: I have no earthly clue why anyone would spend money on it.

I purchased a run-down (yet relatively solid) 1982 Chevy C30 3+3 Dually. Originally a 6.2 diesel w/ TH400 Trans, but at the time, missing the engine and trans. $500. Great deal.

Everyone is too afraid to post the obvious answer, so I'm going to. The holy trinity:

The previous Datsun 2oo was kinkier.

hah, yeah, they both debuted right around the same time - '73-'74.

My turbo-brick:

Chevrolet Chief Engineer and later General Manager Ed Cole, father of the Small Block Chevy. I don't think any further explanation is needed.
