bugattatra commented on The Amazing Flying '79 Tercel: Even Better Than An Omni!,
at 2:28 PM on May 15
My mom's first (of many) Tercel was a '79 hatch.
All but 1st gear died after 450K on the original everything, in a car that's oil was changed perhaps every 50K or so and never washed in Chicago winters.
It went to a family friend who owned a junk yard who ripped off the hatch and used it for a parts getter for another 5 years or so.

The 4AGE is basically a Cosworth BDA built to higher standards.
I'll never forget my NA '89 MR2 - still one of the best sports cars I've ever driven, and I count 911s and Loti among them.

I occasionally see a local New Beetle with what appear to be normal fuzzy dice hanging by the rear-view by day, but illuminate pink by night.
This is crap but not as bad.

The EB110 was much more in line with what Ettore built, both aesthetically and mechanically.
Probably the best driving, most useable supercar ever built.
Still my favorite supercar ever.

That ancient Atari one with the clutch pedal and EARLY 3D frame graphics and a power adjustable swing-in seat that never works properly.

I'd drive it if it was pink with a rainbow license plate holder.

I heard it was more a case of self-defense and that he was only convicted of manslaughter.
Either way, RIP.
