However did people manage in the *many* decades where nearly every car in America was a RWD, nose-heavy barge? They must have simply cowered in fear in their living rooms all winter. Or did we all just hibernate and come out skinny in the springtime?

Duct tape and zip ties bro.  

I was going to vote solid CP, but you have changed my mind. See you in Nevada on September 20!

Windows just make bears hungrier;

As a camper, it’s cheap.

No, no, no, no, no!

Let me point out that the horsepower you state is for the EFI model. The carbureted 22R, which this appears to be judging by the absence of the EFI badges on the B-pillar, is good for a more modest 98-102 horsepower. Never mind that though, it won’t die before you do. You’ll get there or you won’t care.

Radio’s half out of the dash, only half of one speaker is installed, no windows in the camper, camper seems to be held on with ratchet strap, no rack for the ‘yak, etc... The guy’s not exactly a “finisher”.

This is what i call a “kind of” vehicle. Is it comfortable? Kind of. Can it tow? Kind of. Is it zippy? Kind of. Were you embarrassed to be seen in it as a kid? Kind of.

I must object. The joy of a convertible is 90% the top coming off. Jalops all drool all over themselves over an Alfa Romeo spider. But not for the hardtop. Ever driven a 4-cyl Alfetta? It have, actually, and it’s pretty cool. But not convertible. And maybe I once refered to it as a EuroPinto. But only because it was…

That’s not chassis flex, that’s indigestion.

Probably the finest example of a 1990 Chrysler LeBaron GT in existence.

After the passing of my brother, I obtained his ‘91 Previa. He drove it like a sports car, and with that mid-engine location, it handled like one, if not for the somewhat lacking power. That thing is a great multi-purpose vehicle. It can carry full 4'x8' sheets of plywood, the middle seats can be turned around, or…

On a classic Jeep Cherokee with the bulletproof 4.0 inline six, miles almost don’t matter. It’s a bit like the bean dip I’ve had in the back of my fridge since... *shrugs*...

As JTSnooks mentions, and without knowing how far the officer took it, it’s often a good tactic to cuff everyone, in a volatile situation, to figure out what happened. Not everyone who gets cuffed on scene gets arrested and charged. I’ve been asked to sit in the back seat of a police car while the officers sorted…

The interior could be “no more green”?

I don’t know, the gauge needles could’ve been green. The aftermarket gauges could be green lit. It’s like they weren’t even trying.

I’m sure there are plenty of good parts on this that could be stripped off and used to fix other Miatas.

This gives you and others around you joy and meaning to your life. The F150 just sucks out the life force of those around it.

ahem, “Elbows too pointy, shes a 2/10 at best”
