    Well I like it.
    Looks like an Omni, drives like a rocket skate.

    Those are neat little cars. It's too bad they had such a problem with rust. My grandpa has one that was from Michigan, poor little thing, I'm pretty sure it would break in half if we tried to move it.

    Great little sleeper.

    You can make any piece of crap go fast...but it's just a fast piece of crap. Never could figure out why Shelby allowed his name to be associated with something that looked like that. :huh:

    Umm... you're talking to Ray. You haven't seen his car in person obviously. That Omni is undoubtably a quick little car, but I am 99% sure Ray's car would eat it alive.

    Hell I'd run it with my Fiat without thinking twice.

    Yep. It looks like a slepper - whatever that is.



    Spoken like someone who has no idea what the other guy has under his hood.
