That's why I want a smaller sports car, like an S2000. They're a ton of fun but you don't have to be going overly fast to have a lot of fun with them.

I know what you're saying about them though, my motorcycle gets me in trouble a lot (to the point I will probably sell it soon). It's not fun until you're really pressing it and you're not really pressing it until you're over 100 MPH

 

The Datsun was a 1981..POS, was blue and had a gray hood but only 70K on a straight 6. Had that in 1991..loved the T tops for summertime. Unfortunately I found the floorboard rotted..and the frame as well. I still had fun that summer with it.

My 1984 Camaro was the one that got me in hot water. 305 and it was a cop car before I got it..DEA undercover. I had it up to 135 before..made my friend nearly wet his pants.

If I can ever manage it I'd like to get an old musclecar..Chevelle or Cutlass would be the ideal. Failing that maybe an old Malibu that doesn't necessarily look like a hot rod but goes like it.

 

I miss having t-tops. Had them on my WS6 and my Fiero. The Fiero wasn't fast, but it cornered very well.

 

My cousin had a Fire-o..haha. He loved it, first new car he ever had.

My ideal is a 72 Cutlass convertible..holdover would be maybe a mid-80's with T tops.

Meantime I guess I could settle for a nice set of lights for the metal lightbar I'm getting haha

 

I used to hear that joke all the time. Car was 20 years old and still didn't burst into flames though.

 

I still remember one owner who had a ton of problems with his. He parked in front of the dealership and grilled hot dogs and burgers next to it or on it (I forget).

 

Aww man, you gotta keep it for one more summer hurrah at least..

 

I'd trade it for a dual sport. I'm not completely getting away from motorcycles. I'm done commuting with it though. Perspective kind of changed this year...

 

Dude, I want that......... Someday. Nice build

 

I sold my bikes about a month after my first child came. You are right on track about perspective changes. Boy do i miss it sometimes. My last two bikes were 2003 Custom metallic orange Sportster 883 w/ 1200 kit i did myself set up like a drag bike and the other was an all origanal 1982 Honda CB900Fss (only 4300 miles)

 

Yeah life has a way of doing that..not the same kick I got when I was 28 but similar in that it caused some changes that for me were long overdue.

 

I am not even concerned with that yet, at least not for a very long time may not even want at least she doesn't. More money for toys for me i guess. Dual Sport and my truck that I plan on keeping till it dies.

 

In that regard it's not even an option for me..the age thing. It is probably for the best because I refuse to be a grownup anyways

 

pulled an engine from one of those last year OMFG

 

This was my Fiero:

 

Looks like easy work to me Dave..

 

Car was rotted so it was easy but still a pain. Kid got $300 for scrap and 700 for the engine lol

 

Was the rot the reason you pulled it with the rear axle on it or was it just easier that way anyway..guessing at least the latter.

Jason, that is a nice ride..what happened to it?

 

Sold it. At the time, I had 3 cars, and only room for 1. Guy I sold it to ripped it apart and restored it.
