in lime-green
As I recall, that was the last year that Germany made the Opel, and why he picked it (not because it was the last year, only that it was still German-made.)
And yes, I did get to drive it, and it was great in the corners. He also got minor hits (rear-ended, passenger door punched in) because the idiot drivers said they couldn't see him. Bright lime-green, long before lime-green was a popular color in this country, and they said they couldn't see him! No, dimwits, it was because you simply weren't looking for any other vehicle from atop your butt in your massive Suburban Assault Vehicle
