I looked at the Mini, but my requirements were convertible and stick shift. The Honey Z found me and the only issue has been the radio.

Exclusive | ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller’s horrific car crash captured on video

The horrific car crash that resulted in devastating injuries for ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller was captured on video.

Missouri State Highway Patrol officials wrote in a crash report that Miller had been properly wearing a seatbelt but “during the crash and due to the extensive damage” on his car, the belt was cut and Miller was ejected.

While seat belt webbing is engineered from high-strength, 100% woven polyester to withstand extreme forces (typically 3,000–6,000 lbs of tensile strength), it is not invincible.

You ever tried to get in/out of a 70's/80's lambo? For one thing. It's a ridiculous contortion device. Secondly by modern standards they absolutely drive like shit.

Have driven several 80's Countachs and 308's, they're from back in the day when you really only drove those POS's for looks as they were likely to break down on the way to your sunday drive, have impossible to use gated shifters, extremely snaky handling, loud burbly and jumpy motors. You should probably keep a gallon of spare oil in the front trunk too as it will probably leak that much in a 10-20 mile drive.

They're cool to look at, absolutely do not buy.

Not a Countach. Sat in a Diablo 6.0. Owner offered to let me drive it, but I declined. People buy Countach not for the driving experience, but because they weld neurons together.

Coolest Lamborghini I ever saw was a Periscopio. That thing drew crowds all day, even against much rarer far more expensive (at the time) cars. I bet every atom on that thing was perfectly aligned. Most flawless paintjob I'd ever seen.

They aren’t bought to drive anymore. Now they’re investments and a hedge against securities and the markets.
Definitely pretty though.

... I did actually use this for a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L I6 - bought it at about 70kl miles, a month after 2-3 started slipping, used this, gone... it came back some around 120k, dropped more in, gone...lol... Rear diff started squealing at 70ish MPH... long story...then just used the Lucas rear diff fluid, noise moved to 82MPH... I can deal with that... another story later-- busted some rods, put in Lucas engine stuff - made it another month and passed trade in, bye bye jeep held together by lucas.

Maiden long drive today. Pretty happy with the 34mpg and scooting decent of the stop for highway merge, but heavier more sudden breaking left room for wanting my r32/jag brakes.

Basically my new daily so jag/truck don't age out to quick 65 miles a day.

Debated crc direct injection cleaner for the hell of it, lot of Veloster people are running catch cans

Bring Back Bench Seats....

I had a station wagon back in the day when my daughter was just a few years old and she would sit up front on the bench seat between my wife and I. I would close my right eye, keeping my left eye open, and tell her I was driving with my eyes closed. She thought it was so amazing that I was able to do that without crashing.
