    Lefties have been taken the fun out of American cars for years now. It's a matter of time and there won't be one single rear wheel drive or 8 cyl around.


    Interesting... you computer must be a CAR computer... based on how it auto corrected FWD to FAG.

    I recently sold my '93 Lightning and the kid called it a "Classic". I almost threw up.

    Old school? Okay. I guess. Really?

    Good, now I can reveal I had a 1966 Blue and White VW Van.

    Bought it with a blown engine in the Hills of Tenn, had an engine shipped there, swapped it out in a day then the "trip" began..........

    Kept a Japanese WWII sword mounted to the back of the passenger seat.

    Drove it up and down the East Coast.

    I had a green 69 Bus. Shifter doubled as a 30" cast iron pipe in case someone caused me a headache.

    The 4 x 4 rear bumper was handy in case I ran out of firewood.

    Rear seat delete with 4" foam and green shag carpeted bed was endorsed by my girlfriend at the time....

    Rust and unreliability was standard.

    Had a few of them over the years. Always referred to them as Type 1's and Type 2's.

    Oh, and her mom at the time helped make curtains for it!
