What was your first car?
I just liked it because it had a cockpit-like dashboard, and kind of looked like the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
Unfortunately it was not the turbo model, and the automatic transmission was a pig. It had some serious delay on hitting the gas, and had its fuel injection changed more than a few times. In fact, it was in the shop more than I'd like to remember.....I became quite familiar with the mechanics in the neighborhood.
It also came standard with a Bad Mojonator....it was plagued by awful luck like having its mirrors sheared off by garbage trucks, having a deer run full-tilt into the driver's side (fun!) and then the head gasket cracked. Twice.
Eventually it was in such bad shape, I just scrapped it for $50 to a junkyard owner in a trailer with a one-eyed bulldog on the steps. Grrr.
Still.....it was fun while it worked.
Had a phat cassette-player with 10-band equalizer, yo. :P
