Remember the B-210 Fastback and shit? I always liked those honeycomb alloy wheels.

Had a '78 810 wagon when the kids were new in the early 80's, that car was gotten cheep because of a bad wire/plug connection to the injection fuel pump in the right rear wheel well, I found it and fixed it....

used to to haul a load of concrete into the back yard, totalled the clutch doing it, clutch felt like a auto tranny after that little episode....

it smelled of Hashish when we got it, bought from some arab type....

took about a year for it to finally go away....

sold it after ~5 years for maybe 1000 less than we paid for it....

:rofl::cert:

I always thought those were cool cars. Some friends of mine drove them in HS back in the late 70's and early 80's.

I know several mofos who owned them. My first grade teacher, Ms. Pendleton, drove a Honda Civic CVCC, too. Remember those jokers? :confused5:

I drove an '86 Nissan Pulsar in college that I beat the shit out of. Great car. Got mid 30s and wasn't half bad to drive.

Yup. Poor man's BMW 2002 like a mofo. I had an MPC/ERTL model of that joker in that same yellow color. :seasix:

That there Fiat 124 Coupe was another hot, back-in-the-day pocket rocket I craved.

Was it a turbo model, perchance? I always thought they'd make a dope project car; along with that there Ford EXP Turbo. I liked the sugar scoop headlamp buckets on those EXP's!

Unfortunately it wasn't the turbo model.

It looked like this.

I had a bumping stereo, a nice set of alloy wheels and a coffee can muffler on it.

My wife had a Datsun 280Z when we got married.

I hated that car. What GM would do with one part, Datsun would do with 17.

I've always liked the old 240Z. I think one of those would be a fun weekend car.

I almost bought a 1970 240Z. Even drove it. Guy wanted $3000 and it had 90,000 miles on it. I just couldn't justify owning 2 sports cars while still going to college. I still think they are sharp cars.

I remember the old Datsun 200SX, too. A guy I knew in college had a light blue one.

I loved the Cylon Raider louvers on that joker, too. One of the few cars that looked good with 'em, IMO, O.E.M. OR aftermarket.
