What happens if you type a long post and change your mind by the time you get to the end of it? Do you retype it, or say to heck with it? Just wondered!

You just say the heck with it, Earl, and hit the submit button.

Alan, I never had that problem with my Horizon. Mine was one of the early ones with the VW 1.7 engine and a 4 speed. No A/C. I dumped the crazy airbox they had on it, removed the catalytic converter, and slapped a cherry bomb glasspack right to the header and aimed it so it directed towrds the ground.

I got lousy mileage but it sounded cool to me (at the time), made a cool fire show under the car at night if you were behind it to see (especially when shifting), and ran like heck. Eventually I replaced the glass pack with a 2" exaust and it still ran great and got much better mileage. I could get rubber in third gear and once had it at 117 on the highway (racing a Cadillac - beat him too). With 3 people in the car I could still smoke a Charger 2.2. That car was the most fun I ever had. With some high-pressure KYB gas shocks on it I could not bottom it out and used to jump it on every bridge I could get air off of. Once had the tires 2 feet off the ground with 4 people in the car and it always landed like a cat. It eventually died from abuse (duh) and I traded it in for a 626.

Thanks for bringing back some fun memories

those memories were nightmares for me - i wanted to beat that car to death with a baseball bat and send it off a cliff in flames. rattle rattle rattle! i did 'get some' in that car, though my back hurts just thinking about it.
