Nice, I bought my wife a Rx350 during Covid. She had always driven 4 door pickups or suburbans before, so she loves to be able to park with out needing a blueprint

My best friend had one of those...what a piece of shit that thing was. He even had to put a milk crate behind the drivers seat because the back rest wouldn't stay up.
Fuckin' thing was like driving an aluminum can.
Wait
This is what she had to have ???

I mean, even back in '85 this should've been a totally obvious bullshit line to pretty much anyone

We came close to hitting 140mph in one of those. My mom was F'ing pissed at my dad. Almost died a few hours later going through the seirra Nevada mountains.
One thing of note on that trip: Strawberry CA is absolutely a beautiful place and one I have dreamed of visiting again before I die.

We were on a trip and long story short that highway was the only one that had a pass open from snow. Would not have gone that way from Vegas if first one was OK. Vegas to LA many times but Oakland is a different story

Heh...my dad, grandad, and a few uncles ran a used car lot. One year, they bought a trailer load of junk cars at auction, and one of them was a Yugo with "Miss Teen USA" emblazoned on the side. It had the year, as well, can't remember it now but basically that thing had been awarded as a prize and was a piece of crap less than 5 years later

I wish we had camera phones back then.
Meet the 1969 Subaru 360 (advertised as cheap and ugly)...
356 cc engine (which needed oil mixed with gas) with three-speed manual transmission and a top speed of 60 mph (barely) and weighed under 1,000 lb. Non-synched 1st gear was a pain. Had to come to a COMPLETE stop to go back into 1st gear.
13 in wheels and suicide doors and my teenaged legs pretty much reached to the front end which housed the spare tire..
My dad wanted to grab a cheap car for his commute and this was cheap @ $1297 at the time. Had crazy times when I drove that car.
Looking back, I wonder why I'm still alive after what I put that car through!

My older brother had a Honda that was small like that. I have no idea whatbit was called but it was so dinky
This was the 1970 Honda 360... Actually this was a much better looking car for about $100 more back then... STILL a dangerous car to drive around in.
