It’s hard to beat a good automatic for consistency and speed. But you have to admit, there’s really something satisfying about running a shifter through the gate.

When I'm on track I'll take consistency and speed every time.

why that's got 'you' written all over it ......

Oh yeah, I totally agree with that.

TFLclassics (The Fast Lane)-

Show on YT where they review different older cars post-70s usually. The one host looks to be 40 years old at the latest. He said he's probably owned 100 cars in his lifetime. I think he gets deals at auctions and drives em for a bit and resells em. I like the unusual ones or auctions.

80s love with the Pontiac Fiero. Pretty good design imo. Although it's basically a corvette LOL.

That is some body kit intended to look like a Ferrari. This is a production Fiero:

I liked that car, except that it was mostly fiberglass. My neighbor had one.

Actually I believe the Fiero was for the most part 'plastic'

FRP then if I am not mistaken, which looks more like fiberglass than straight "plastic". Not like what they did for Saturn, which were actually injection molded plastic, which is good for minor dings but took a lot less pressure to fail than metal. When my neighbor got into a fender bender, it cracked and had fibers and actual cracks, and it looked like fiberglass.

But that’s not a fiero, and neither were related to corvette.

No wonder they were sued. The mod looks better.
