Man! By the title of the thread I was thinking they had a Chevy (rat) engine in it!! I'm glad that wasn't the case!! A Ford would have been ok but that's another story!!

I like the description of the doors: "Four or more". I'd be scared of this one!!

Looks like a well-worn daily driver...I'd expect to spend thousands of $$$ to get it perfect...

In Europe, coupes are known as 3 door and sedans as 5 doors.... they count hatch/trunk as a door.

I was referring tothe term "Rat Bike" which is a motorcycle,,, usually a Harley, that is hardly recognizable as a bike any more. Never cleaned and parts hanging off,,, a rolling wreck if you will.

This guy is in Florida. That's pretty close to europe ,right? Heck, My Accord is a '3 door hatchback' but I don't refer to as having "two or more doors"!
