    had a hornet wagon once. never got around to painting it green. always wanted to.
    that was the last time i owned a car of any kind. that was back in the mid 90s.

    cars are still the biggest mistake for the environment,
    and how people feel about them what makes it hardest to do anything about it.

    everyone likes to point fingers at someone else,
    energy and population are the other two big factors,
    but cars, we have to accept our fingers point at ourselves.

    I really do not know all that much about cars........I know colors.....pink or white car......I saw a a baby blue rolls royce once, and it is the only car that ever stopped me in my tracks to stare at it, so that is why i picked pink rolls......but white is ok, too....I would want a strong car that would not buckle in like an accordian on impact......I know that much......

    Ferrari F12 or almost any Ferrari really. They are a special breed though. Pretty much the only car company that will decide if you are worthy of giving them your cash. With some of the higher end ones you are invited to buy probably only if you have owned several Ferrari's in the past.

    One of the coolest experiences of my life was getting a call from their office it Italy. It was about another brand of car they owned at the time but still a very nice and expensive car. They thought I was someone else and a women with a thick Italian accent was asking me if my local dealer had called me about the new car and a test drive. I said no and she got very apologetic saying they will personally call the dealer and see what is going. I was so confused but I googled my name after and the first result is a doctor with the same spelling so I guess he was thinking of a present for himself. I just hope I did not get anyone in trouble because there was a language barrier going on but I could tell this was not how they wanted things done.

    Ha!
    I traded for that thing. My 1969 Ossa dirt bike, a washing machine, and a couple hundred bucks.

    It was actually a fun car. The previous owner two guys back drag raced in some 6 cylinder class and supposedly did pretty well.
    I ran a V6 Mercury Capri one time and had him till he hit 5th gear (overdrive).

    I tried teaching my wife how to drive a stick with it but she got scared because it would spin the back tires so easily.
    When I replaced the clutch I called the auto parts store and they told me it took three different clutches, but don't worry they had two of them and had never seen the third.
    So it ended up they had to order it.
    The pressure plate looked something like this one:
