Yeah, I know, that's the worst part.
With all the newer cars out there being backdated, then to think this guy spent 18K updating this one.
If he had simply done a nice restoration he would probably have gotten his money back.
The "Porsche" on the dash just kills me, and the center console looks like a wood shop project.

still cant figure out what is going on with the pedals, I mean all ugliness aside, how do you drive it with them like that? and what is wrong? clutch low, or brake really high?

Apparently I got quite the collection of cassettes. Found some Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, MJ and a few hair band ones which I care not to mention.

Ice: touché re the playoffs. I suffered through the dark days in Guelph though, so my disdain for the blue team is well founded. We'll beat you if you guys can figure out how to get back in there

Sammy: your hunt for cassettes reminds me of my dad's insistence on getting 8-tracks for his land-yacht '65 Caddy....classic! I think I saw some Milli Vanilli tapes at a yard sale on my street....want me to see if they're still for sale???

All kidding aside, someone needs to sit that fella down and give him (or her, I suppose) a stern talking to...

Only if you're killing time...lol...BTW does anyone know who the real singers were in the Mini Vanilla thing?

At least he has no fear that the car will ever be stolen--in that "theft-proof green." The interior is absolutely the worst.

Yup, must be a Leafs fan....that's a good one. Haha, made my son an I both laugh. Very disappointing to see that done with a 70 car.

Rod,
