    You guys don't like my race car? :huh: :rofl2: Check out the hood, it opens towards the front just like a Corvette! :biglaugh: It gets good gas mileage, I'll say that for it.

    What's so strange about that?

    We've all had at least one in our lifetime - a back seat driver that is.

    (Brrrrrmp! TYVM. I'll be here at the Ramada every Friday night this month. Don't forget to try the Roast Beef sandwiches. :tiphat: )


    I love Effie's AOD

    I rode an '87 Honda Spree moped quite a bit in high school. My friends loved that thing, we would spend whole afternoons just goofing off with it. :p

    The steering wheel was off because the instrument cluster didn't light up when you turn the headlights on. Literally every single bulb was burned out. I bought the car off the original owner's son, never been wrecked or anything. It gets great gas mileage, has a 1.8 4 banger and a 5 speed. I've been driving it to work every day for the past week and a half, and I actually like the car. The only thing it's missing is the "honk if parts fall off" bumper sticker. :rofl2:
