I love my 86. I went into it knowing I wanted it faster, so I did a lot of research and did my mods very carefully. I got the stripped Frs model because that is what I wanted. No leather, because race car.

My car is supercharged and plenty fast, just as reliable as any other, and has all original exhaust and CARB Smog stickers for the hardware. To do it right was not cheap. I just about doubled the price of the car. Drives like a dream.

I'm 54 in a few weeks. 5'9", so I fit perfect. Owned since 1/30/15. Extra "fun" car, not a DD, but I do end up driving it for errands and work on nice days.
I think we have said this before!
I shudder when people I have know for decades see my car and ask "Midlife crisis eh?"
If that is the case mine started at 16.
Why did the same people that ask me that now not ask the same 24 years ago when I bought my Talon TSi? The people asking me know I had the thing for 10 years for crying out loud.
