I loved the Mitsu/Chryslers like that. My neighbor growing up had a CelicaSupra like that. It was tough looking. My Mum bought a GrandPrix like that new in 1991. We were the coolest family on the block for little while. Hers was red. |

1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider
I had two of these; a red one and a yellow one. Thrashed them mercilessly, and they just kept on coming back for more. Neither succumbed to mechanical failure, but both died from Ohio salt poisoning. There's something wonderful about a small-displacement vehicle which you can run at ten-tenths on the street without getting into three-digit speeds. Kind of like flogging a 350-cc motorcycle as opposed to a one-liter superbike. Lots of fun!

I have a couple 89 Shelby CSX VNTs, an 89 Lancer Shelby, Turbo mini with a manual trans, etc., etc. They're a ton of fun. There are actually a couple nice GLH Turbo cars for sale right now. A pretty decent red one in OR and a Santa Fe Springs blue car somewhere for a decent price too. |

Back in the 80s, one guy in town that we hung out with had an 81. It was a cool car back then to all us 14-15 year olds.
I moved to Denver in 1988 and bought an 82 when I turned 16. Drove it back a year or so later, and the Cutlass/Grand Prix/Monte body style was the in thing. I really miss that slug of a car with the 231 3.8 litre V6 and would love to have another clean example. Gotta have the factory mag wheels though, that really made the car in my opinion.

1989 Dodge Daytona G/S, I bought one from the PX in West Germany. Perfect car for a single E-5, just a little over 10 grand, insurance was dirt cheap. I could have bought a corvette or a BMW, then I would have been THAT buck Sargeant.
