Yeah but I think for the majority of Jalops NPoCP refers to the market.  Not your opinion.  But to each his own.  

Correct.  These things are popular.  

I’ve got a bridge for sale if you are interested.  Because a quick glance at cars.com tells me you aren’t doubling shit.  This is a reasonable price.  That’s it.  

Buy this one and a 71/72 then engine swap?????

My parents had a manual Cavalier wagon of the same vintage.  They didn’t keep it more than a couple years if memory serves.  

One of my favorite movies as a kid.  Iron Eagle!!!!

All the stars

It’s pretty awesome actually.  

I know that area well.  It’s a nightmare most of the day.  

Holy shit that’s a horrible commute.  I hope the gig pays well at least.  

GW Bridge and the Cross Bronx are horrible around rush hr.  Just some of the worst traffic imaginable.  

I used to live in CT and had to come to NYC for wife’s doc appts.  My first time driving in Manhattan was intimidating but I learned quick to just be aggressive and think ahead.  Oh and to blow the horn.  I love driving there honestly.  

Are you kidding?  The front end already looks like an F430

You paid $1300 for an 86 560?  Damn nice deal.  

Life is about experiences imo. Owning that car was an experience for you.  Nothing wrong with that imo.  

True but they are just so far and away in a different league (minors) than this car.  

It’s a fun flick for sure

I was thinking spicy mayo at a cheap sushi shop

I think all Benz’s from this generation were over built.  That’s how I perceive them anyway.  

As a frequent visitor to Europe for work, I can say you are correct about manuals over there.  I’ve literally seen one automatic in probably 200 taxi/uber rides.
