    If my memory serves me correct, The passanger's side door was longer than the driver's side! Ugly car!:idea2:

    I wonder what them europeans did during rainy days... They all took the bus?? My family has owned Peugeots and Renaults for many decades and I never heard of that.

    I know. I thought the same thing.
    The first person that told me about this was a fellow employee back in the early 90's. Actually he used to call in late quite often because of that car.

    Then years later my Wife who I met in the late 90's told me she had the same problem with the one she bought brand new.

    Since we're speaking of other foreign cars that were sold here, does anybody know which models of Lancia and TVR were sold in America? There's an old dealership sign on the Scott St. exit of Hwy 45 in Houston that has Lancia and TVR. I have a picture of it somewhere. Maybe some other local Texas people have seen it.

    obviously, you are right. They picked Toronado #5

    They did?

    I didn't even check out their list. They must be talking about the downsized ones from '87 or so.

    It's envy for not owning such a cool vehicle.

    Absolutely nothing

    I had a '73 Olds 455 88 for 26 years. I sold it 3-1/2 years ago, as; my first step to getting a '66-'78 Toronado. Toronados are the coolest Oldsmobile, IMHO. ('50 88 is a close second)

    I do have to say that this one is kinda cool.
    Not where I would have put the money and work, but still kinda cool.
    Should have picked a better misfit orphan for the project.
     
  19. Some guy actually tatooed an AMC Pacer on his boob. Just. Nasty.

    Probably not a real ladies man either.
    Driving a pacer is bad enough. Getting a pacer tattoo has to be right up there with going out on the town with a star wars t-shirt and a light saber on your side.
