I had a brother in law who had a Laser, and I always liked that car. I recently read that article in Automobile mag about DSMs, and it brought back a lot of memories. I never saw those Fast & Furious flicks and, when I started looking on line I was pretty amazed at what these little cars could be modded up to be, and what you all have done with them. I figured I'd sign up here and learn some, and maybe find one for sale that was maybe modded some, but not so much that you can't drive it as a DD some of the time, or that has wires hanging out and dripping oil down the road or all over my driveway.
I'm a greybeard, and my current DD is a 2017 Camaro SS, bone stock. I used to alternate driving that car with a 2007 Chrysler 300C, but that hemi sucked a valve at 175k, and it just didn't make economic sense at the time to do an engine swap, so I sold it to a buddy w/ a shop, and he turned it around. I have a 67 C-20 pickup that I fixed up, but it guzzles gas like an old hooker, so I don't drive it much.
So anyway, that's my story. I've been corresponding a little with a fellow on here T3rbo, about his car. It looks like something I might like to buy. If any of you folks have any insights about that car (like how it would hold up for some part-time DD duty) or can vouch for T3rbo, I'd love to hear what you have to say. I'm not suspicious of him or anything, but I'll always be nervous about paying a lot of money to somebody on the other side of the country, as shit does, as they say, happen.
