About 15 years ago I saw a 'CD with a trunk spoiler and those goofy neon-orange "eyelash" wipers. The driver? Some middle-aged (oh God - now I am middle aged - I just thought about that) guy in a business suit. Spooky.

Thumbs up

Well a rebuilt trans is a plus! I bet it needs a valve adjustment, timing chain, and IP timing set. Brakes are cheap.

This tells me a younger female drives it most likely...

And this gives it away further.





BTW, I just re-read my posts and let me state that I meant it "looks like the coupe I currently have", not that it looks like a previous coupe of mine.

People, don't forget about the flame job. That has to add a few hundred to the equation. I mean, which one of us wouldn't love to be driving down the highway with that flame job on a benz. I know I would.

I need a flame job on my car like I need a hole in my head.

I was at a light the other day making a right hand turn when a car came from the right turning left. I almost ran off the road looking and laughing at it. It had one of those huge, cheap aluminum spoilers bolted to the trunk lid. It was a Geo Metro convertible. With the additional drag from the spoiler, I'm amazed it could move forward at all.

I would worry about other hack jobs done to that car too, any person who would put Flames on one of these is a few bricks shy of a load if you know what I mean..........................

Well the seller is named Gwen. Heck if it weren't 750 miles away and I could get it for $600 I'd prolly buy it. Its bound to have at least $600 worth of usable parts on it. Heck the transmission alone even if a rebuild is worth at least that.
