I love my beater

Just a short note,

Yesterday jumped in the 83 GSL to do a delivery, 300 miles later through rain and darkness I got home, the beater ran like a dream, never missed a beat and got about 24MPG. This car is too much fun for $300...

Starts first time every time, handles and stops great and looks like *****.....lol

This car used to have (gasps) hydraulics.....lol, large holes through the floors, crappiest matt black paint your ever saw, looking for the interior parts first cause its noisy inside, then this Spring I'll sand that crap off it and see what I've got. Shell's OK, came out of Texas, but it was bastardised by some idiot, had a freakin huge wing once, holes all over the rear panel.

Only had it about 6 weeks, runs so good though......should see peoples faces when this ugly little car whips by them at 70 MPH down the interstate like its a 2005 RX8

I couldn't buy a new car for less than $43,000 (Lotus Elise) and get this much fun.
