I don't mean to totally down the car that I own, just stating the facts. Now that mine has a manual transmission and upgraded brakes I'm sure I'll fall back in love with it.. but I don't expect to get back what I put into it. I guess we should be glad they're cheap, that means we can buy them all  |
What is so advanced? You hear over and over that they were ahead of their time. Marketing was one of the biggest problems and even today, most people don't know what the heck they are. That is what I like about them. You don't see 12 of them on the way to work or a weekend drive unless you are at a meet.

You cold have fooled me! You seem to be the first to insult the car with everything that could be wrong with it.
None of us have purchased these to make money or to invest in them for the future. We buy them because we like them and appreciate the car for what it is. If you take care of them, they will run for many many miles. Those who abuse them, end up walking before the end of their trip.
