In reply to the discussion: What was your coolest car? Mine: '63 MGB. [View all]ProdigalJunkMail
(12,017 posts)93. it was a great little car...
i drove mine to a total of 320,000 miles and it was running like a top the day i let her go. and that little five-speed was a little peppy and the thing was pretty nimble. at less than 2000 lbs it got pretty good gas mileage. i had to replace the clutch and master cylinder and do some other pretty minor stuff. did my own breaks, shocks and tune-ups. now, i look in an engine compartment and i think, "that yellow thing over there must be the dipstick... maybe."
i loved that car... i guess you always remember your first... or something like that.
