#6132 of 17968 Thanks, Shifty..... by andys120 Feb 24, 2005 (10:47 am)
I'd forgotten that Carrozerie Intermeccanica built the Apollo as well (along with a bunch of other things.

Saw my first Audi A3 last week in Denver. It had Alabama plates and had the "2.0T" label on the back.   Silver, quite sharp looking!

...I saw a 1977 Ford Pinto last night. Now, the car looked like something from "Mad Max" but it was still running. I thought all of these cars died off at least 15 years ago.

I saw a 1970-71 Toyota Corolla---those little fastbacks---they were great little cars.
#6136 of 17968 Fiero GT by lemmer Feb 25, 2005 (3:01 pm)
I saw one this morning. I would something negative about it, but I don't want to feel the wrath of the Fiero fanatics. I'll just say that was a model that could have been cool.

I think it took a kind of perverted genius to make a small car feel so big when you drove it.
#6138 of 17968 Not so obscure but.... by andys120 Feb 26, 2005 (1:33 pm)
a Volvo V50 I saw yesterday wore what appeared to be French License plates (oblong red with whit lettering).
#6139 of 17968 Today: by jrosasmc Feb 26, 2005 (1:38 pm)
I think this would qualify as obscure- I saw an early '80s Jeep Cherokee being driven on the main road this morning (the big Wagoneer-based one, not the smaller XJ series). I know they were popular back in their day but it seems to be getting very difficult to find one now in good condition, as most have already died off. This example I saw, a two-door Laredo, was pretty beat but still ran. How much are these older big Cherokees in really nice, tip-top condition today?

It would help to own your own oil field if you plan on driving one regularly.

Ebay time:   Never liked these...U-G-L-Y, gawky proportions, etc...but apparently some like them   This could be fun...the market for old timers has declined, but Brighton cars still remain strong   Probably a lost cause but still a cool front end   Only 50 made? What a shame   Shifty-mobile   I've heard these are a joy to own   Ebay is like a dumping ground for mint original Newports   I don't know if the wood trim was a good idea   Ebay is also a dumping ground for mint Andre-mobiles. This one seems like it wasn't a horrible deal   Nice looking Mirada   An old Mercedes and Alabama...maybe not a good match. Hint to seller: It's actually a German car   Lovely lowline fintail...well worth this bid.
