Maybe it has a nice interior? I wonder where the exhaust is routed? There are so many bubbles in that paint that it looks like a wrap.
Bless it's heart

Did someone actually buy a blue cover for it? or were they covering it to hide their shame?

Not cleaning the grounds every so often.
Not having a fuel pump relay jumper in the glove box.
Hitting the trip meter button while moving.
Not having the workshop manuals.
Not installing genuine P parts, often.
Thinking ebay can beat the standard part suppliers.
Not driving the **** out of it every day.

You hit the nail on the head...I was hiding it from the neighbors.

Fully understandable. Some folks just don't know what's what. So where does the exhaust leave the confines of the car? Just curious.

If it were my car, I'd route the exhaust up in the pass compartment, start the engine, and let it Kill Me Now from the shame.

In the regular place. You can see the cutout below the tail light.

If you commit all of the "Seven Deadly Sins", do you actually go to Hell?

For some of us "Hell" seems to be optional...

My '83 IS FUGLY, but it runs petty good for a 35 year old car...I'm into it another $6000 in parts so call it $11000 all in....
Where can I get this kind of performance and style for $11,000?? And they only made 719 of mine..LOL
How will we get used parts if really bad examples are not parted out?

Ugh, that first sin list has me all over it:::

Landseer said “ By coincidence, as an odd aside, my daughter is storing a shark for me. She lives in Seven Devils, actually the next tiny town over from Banner Elk.”

Chris, I am so deep in now, if you want me to free you from the pain, I’ll ride up to Seven Devils and haul it away for you.... let me save you from your sins!

(wait, that’s still gluttony...right?) I’ll say 10 Hail Marys before bed tonight.... or sumptin...
